I think it was a dumb thing to say. Perhaps she had a sentiment along the lines of your interpretation but she said what she said. Some of use, using our common sense, think it was a dopey thing to say caused by a few elites spending too much time dwelling on one topic obsessively, a sort of desperate play to get my sound byte and inspirational words of wisdom out there.

I know dumb, awkward and obsessive when I hear it.
