To promote a book

in direct opposition to his supposed views.

There's the kicker.

He regularly condemns the rich for material greed, and actively cultivates an image of personal frugality (“if Bernie has seven sweaters, that’s three too many for him".

Meanwhile, the dude has 3 houses and his wife is being investigated for fraud. So yeah, I can understand why people are upset that he used his AMA to shoehorn in his book - likely a lazy, uninspired one too, given the subject matter - because it once again sheds light on his hypocrisy.
