There is a concept called context, and apparently you're the one that is struggling with the concept. She was citing Mao approvingly, as an inspiration...in exactly the same context in which she cited mother Theresa.
This was a political figure talking political philosophy citing a mass murderer as her favorite political philosopher. That's disgusting and if you had more sense than political herd instinct you'd distance from that ugly old bitch.
