I'd focus on a different video. The thing is, I was able to find this:

She even defended it as a "rebellion" and "insurrection," making her guilty of leading and committing treason.
But I just spent 10 minutes unsuccessfully trying to find a video of it, and traces appear to have been buried and/or removed, which in itself cries for investigation.
