Rev. Jesse to MSNBC: It's Jackson If You're Nasty

Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:03PM by TMZ Staff

During an important discussion on income inequality, an anchor for MSNBC got her Reverends mixed up -- introducing Rev. Jesse Jackson as Rev. Al Sharpton.



Contessa Brewer ended up blaming the identity crisis on the teleprompter -- but by the look on Rev. Jackson's face ... the damage was done.
