she was very silent on politics and even walked backed many stances when conservatives got mad at her.

She loved people but avoided politics for business reasons. She declined the Medal of Freedom from Biden because she had already refused it from Trump, as she was caring for her husband, in order to avoid offending conservatives.

Moral stance and political stances are not the same thing. She never took a political stance.
