Lewis also stated her own political philosophy concerning Progressivism.
“People in our community, by and large, have a progressive bent, because we have had to take care of one another,” she said. “We have been told by people who believe in individualism — I got mine; government didn’t do anything for me. I’ve heard that a million times. The problem with that is it is not true. And it leads to deterioration.”
Lewis’s comments drew chants of “Run Karen Run” among the crowd.
“We have to change the political landscape in this city, in this state and in this country,” she said, adding that the likelihood of her running is “50-50” after being asked about that prospect from the crowd.
