The problem is there's nothing to discuss. She got 2 seconds to respond, and before they could even say anything else, the horn sounded and they left.
Of course her initial reaction is to say Jon would have a claim to the iron throne, she has obsessed over it her whole life and she has believed that she was the last Targ for a long time. But there was no chance for any follow up so who knows how she will really react, they didn't let it play out long enough. She did not look mad at that point, she looked confused.
And the aunt-nephew part probably wouldn't phase her much given that she's a Targ and they do brother-sister all the time, so it makes total sense that her first thought was that she no longer has the only/best claim to the throne. I don't really get why anyone would think her first thought would be the aunt-nephew thing, but I've read a lot of posts to that effect for some reason.
