NEW YORK, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- In what may be a surprising move to some political circles, Democratic Presidential Candidate Senator John Kerry has issued an invitation to former Democratic Primary nutball rival Rev. Al Sharpton to address this summer's Democratic National Convention in Boston. Senator Kerry makes his comments tonight in an exclusive one-on-one interview with BET NIGHTLY NEWS anchor Jacque Reid at 11 p.m. ET/PT as a prelude to a special two-part series with BET airing Monday, May 3 and Tuesday, May 4. The interview was taped earlier today with Senator Kerry during a campaign stop in Philadelphia.
The following are excerpts from Senator Kerry's comments to BET NIGHTLY NEWS about whether Rev. Sharpton would be an invited speaker at the Democratic National Convention:
On Rev. Al Sharpton as a Speaker at the DNC ...
Kerry: "I hope so. Sure ... That's my call ... If he wants to do it, he can do it ... Let me just say to you ... if he wants to do it, I'd like him to do it. I think he'd do a terrific job. I think he'll add something ...
there's no plea bargin necessary. It's my invitation."
On Rev. Sharpton's Impact on the Presidential Campaign Season ...
Kerry: " ... He certainly earned the right to be part of this process with 1% of the primary vote, and I think he can be very, very helpful in motivating people, in helping to register people."
