FYI, John Lam, here is her response, (article didn't pick it up).  No "for shame", she addressed the question: (*From her Facebook page)

Mililani Trask Aloha FB friends, this is Mililani. Zachary, just for the record I am not supporting, endorsing or running on a slate with Keli'i Akina or anybody. I was asked to be interviewed on his show on OHA. Two years ago, I had to rail and educate Dr. Akina that if he was elected, he would be in violation of his trust and fiduciary responsibility if he attempted to share our resources with any non Hawaiian. That as an elected Trustee, he would need to uphold the law and mandate of OHA I'm not yelling I am simply stating I HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT ENDORSE Dr. Akina or any other candidate. I hope this answers your question!
