On Politics and Jesse Jackson

So let me get this straight, as a general observer.
Jesse Jackson,high profile Black preacher is on a national Republican focused television interview program, seated with another Black man. He is wired for sound, with a camera focused on him, in the midst of an interview. He turns to his co-interviewee and bad mouths a person of his own race which is:
1. derogatory to a Black man, the race of whom he has utilized to further his own personal agenda all of his life
2. and by this act he is a traitor to the tenants of his own faith that he touts around the country like some minority saint.
So why would he do this in this forum and in this setting? After all of the times in his life that his comments have made headlines and been taken out of context, why would he choose this public forum to extend a personal opinion that common sense would reserve for the privacy of his own home? Forget that he was on camera with a microphone attached to his collar, duh.
You think maybe, just maybe, it could be designed to convince Black voters to vote Republican instead of the Black man who seems to be carrying Jacksons Rainbow coalition to the forefront of American society? Money perhaps? No, couldn't be. Could it? You think?
