I tried pretty hard, but even the Wikipedia refs are just people (wildly) extrapolating from the petition. I'm not saying these aren't her beliefs, I'm just saying we don't have enough to know, definitely not enough to cancel her, which this thread feels like it's about.
I think to get what you asked you're going to have to directly read their social media and other writings for the last N years and form an impression, keeping in mind self-censorship doesn't mean a change in core beliefs. Following wikipedia refs isn't going to cut it. We're not talking about a public figure here, but an extremely online regular person/minor internet celebrity.
No, if people want to walk around calling someone some kind of fascist they need receipts. Anything else is repugnant Internet brigading that has no place on HN.
