Does the teacher outdo Trump? Not at all

A former high school teacher who wrote to Mr Trump was unhappy with the letter she got in return. 

“Poor writing is not something I abide,” she said.

But in the quote below, the teacher uses the accusative case of the personal pronoun when she should be using the nominative case. Maybe the reporter misquoted her?

The letter stood in contrast to other letters she has received from politicians, Ms Mason said. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, sent “beautiful” letters that struck a tone that “makes me more important than him,” she said.
