Exactly, and even if it was simply the case that he wants to have a look at himself and understand more about it, he and his partner would just have quietly gone there. A personal experience. The fact that he felt the need to state it publicly is what makes it obvious that it's not about personal reflection at all, it's about his professional image, and using "stunt" involving a place like that to preserve his career... It's just tasteless in the extreme.
