46. Her translation was accurate. She was being shouted down for translating.

There was nothing wrong with her using the word chanting, as she was being shouted down and some words were repeated in all the shouting. Nothing wrong with her translation of "Neutral" to "English only". WTF would "neutral" mean to a non-English speaker, so she translated it. Her translations were accurate depictions of the situation. Only someone with an agenda to discredit her would call her a liar. This isn't going to go over well in California where there are large Hispanic populations and where Dolores became known for her activism.
