The Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "I wanna cut his nuts out." He made the astonishingly vulgar remark, accompanied by a hand cutting motion, as he accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of giving moral lectures to African-Americans during a commercial break at Fox News Channel on Sunday.

"See, Barack [has] been talking down to black people . . . I wanna cut his nuts out," Jackson said.

Jackson apologized publicly at a news conference before the tape aired last night on Bill O'Reilly's "The Factor" show on Fox News Channel.

"It was not a public speech or a declaration," Jackson said, but he admitted his language was "regretfully crude" and "hurtful". "For any harm or hurt that this hot-mike conversation may have caused, I apologize," Jackson said.

Jackson said on the "Fox & Friends" mike that Obama was hurting his relationship with black voters, "that the senator was cutting off his you-know-whats with the black people and black churches."

Jackson told CNN he called the Obama campaign to apologize, and reiterated his support.
