John Lewis: Crowd-surfing with Stephen Colbert was "amazing"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-lewis-crowd-surfing-with-stephen-colbert-was-amazing/

“It was amazing. It was amazing,” Lewis said of the experience during an interview with “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson. “I just wanted people to keep me up and not let me hit the floor. Colbert said, ‘Do you want to do this?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ You know, I crossed that bridge, I’ve been beaten and arrested, I’ve sat in jail, so just going with the flow. I thought it would be okay and it did work out.”
