Even that I might be able to handle ($DEITY knows I've been guilty of it myself in the past). This is a case of making mountains out of molehills to make better soundbites out of her story.
Well, in fairness, I don't think what happened to her was a molehill. I think it was wrong of her to say what she did, and what happened that day certainly devastated other lives in a way it did not devastate hers, and saying what she did was an exaggeration at best, so I can see why the saying seemed to fit. But "molehill" trivialises what did happen to her just a bit too much, I think.
Fair enough - a mountain out of a foothill would perhaps be a better representation of scale. Not something you ignore, but not something that should be overstated. (Claiming the events of the day had a direct effect on my personal life, when what it directly affected was my professional livelihood, would have been molehill territory.)
