Her name is Melissa, the daughter is Rachel.
Yes, she does not have a high opinion of the Deaf community. She has had many very negative experiences with members of the Deaf community. I have had a very different experience with the Deaf community, but that doean't make either of our experiences right or wrong. BUT, she has never said that Deaf people do not have the right to use ASL or to choose not to use a CI. (That I am aware of. If I am wrong, I will apologize and take all of this statement back.)
