It's actually a "Kinsley gaffe" which was coined to describe when a politician accidently tells the truth

A Kinsley gaffe or “gaffe in Washington” in American politics is an occurrence of someone telling the truth by accident. Typically, it refers to a politician inadvertently saying something publicly that they privately believe is true, but would ordinarily not say publicly because they believe it is politically harmful.

I remember a rather...interesting sermon comparing 9/11 to Judges 16
