Nobody is trying to do that. But you know perfectly well that it's reasonable to criticize anyone's impulsive or inappropriate behavior. The fact of the matter is that Congress isn't where politicians go to be trained for Congress, they need to hit the ground running and be ready on day zero. As a party we can't afford the luxury of "looking the other way" and "making excuses" for these types of avoidable situations. It's perfectly fair to call her out on them.

All I'm trying to say here is that her efforts (and/or the advice she's receiving from others) would be better all around (especially for her own growth and development) if she focused on improving her own preparedness rather than grandstanding for cameras before she's even sworn-in.
