I wouldn't take an award from the US government if I was given one.

There is no hypocrisy at all. I think it is over reaching to try to call it that. The award may be self serving, but one could also argue that it was further serving whoever it is she is serving now. Presumably women, as that is what the award is for. It is a piece that further legitimizes her.
Unfortunately, this whole debacle will legitimize her within the wrong circle in her native land. We have only made her stronger as an extremist, if she chooses to leverage this.
In any event, two or three statements? Everyone has a bad day. And the internet is a place for all of us to occasionally act like asses. To get all riled up over this is just simply a waste of your emotional effort.
