If you say something as a joke or that could be taken out of context, and then later claim to have never said it, suddenly you are a liar even though you didn't actually do anything wrong. It's possible that she just didn't want to get contradicted by some frustrated exclamation she had made years previously.

- bendbro 10y agoThis election is trending beyond being too much too keep up with. I think we'll see more bullheaded decision making in the this same vein as we get closer to the date.
