OTOH, I agree she seems to have milked it for whatever political gain it may have given her, and that isn't really proper.
But calling her by a NA name is an inappropriate way to raise that issue. Better would be to just point out that she's done it. It's like if someone who appeared black but with some vague white roots called themselves white and so a black person called them "Susan B. Anthony" or something. If it's not offensive to whites at the very least it's cringeworthy.
