She's off the mark, but she does have a bit of a point. CRT is clearly racist and incitement to genocide, but think about whom you're trying to convince with these arguments: You're trying to convince normies who've been so steeped in the myth of white privilege that you'll never get through to them by saying "This is racist against white people." It's better to argue against CRT on the basis that it's ahistorical and factually wrong.
Again, you're not trying to convince leftists. They really are in it for the power. You're trying to convince normies. Most people still aren't living their lives subsumed by the culture war.

In your experience, has this ever worked on leftists? Being factually wrong and hypocritical is their normal state.

It's not a lie to argue against CRT on the basis that it's ahistorical and factually wrong.
