She may or may not have something to say about the plight of "her people" in Guatemala, but her so-called "autobiography" has been revealed as a fraud.

If her only vice is that she's a fraud, then she's uniquely qualified for the job. At least she's not a genocidal maniac, which is typical of the region.
