Now that I've listened to more of it, it is clear she was very good at not answering questions when she didn't want to and going with these sort of "technically correct but misleading" or just "really needs more context" kind of answers.
Those are the kind that are exceedingly hard to fact check by a moderator without it turning into an argument about interpretation or emphasis.
I don't mind those kinds of answers so much (I don't love them, but a format like this is always going to have those) but I do think the moderators should have been better with follow up questions when she skated away from ever actually answering.
That is why she has not done interviews as she was wisely preparing scripted answers

Or covid is no worse than the flu (of course he denies saying it)
Or the world respected his strenght when he was in office
