It was a classy response to a “joke” that was not very kind to anyone. If she was good friends with this person, maybe that’s the way they joke. Given her status as a public and political figure, and the account name, it’s doubtable that this is a close friend and more likely one in her position would assume it’s a troll. Instead of publicly laughing along with comparing her to a person who suffered from stigmatization for their looks, or lashing out, she showed composure and dignity. She let them know that she didn’t think it was funny without falling victim to troll bait or becoming ruffled (the first step to losing face and feeding a troll,) and she was kind while pointing out politely where she didn’t approve of their actions. I call it a win.
