Michael Jackson Is 'Pervert,' Says Congressman

By The Associated Press

A New York congressman says in a YouTube video that Michael Jackson was a "pervert."

Rep. Peter King said society is "glorifying" a "low-life" while ignoring the efforts of teachers, police officers, firefighters, veterans and volunteers.

Jackson was acquitted of molesting a boy.

In the video, the congressman says the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson's death is "too politically correct."

He conceded that Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing."

King is among the possible Republican contenders for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibra.

Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine says the family is preparing for Jackson's funeral and will not dignify King's statement with a comment.

REV. AL SHARPTON ISSUED THIS STATEMENT:

The Statement by Rep. Peter King represents a small element of people who have NO respect for the courts of law. Mr. King raises allegations that were found to be baseless in the courts and it is interesting to me that people that often tell me to listen to the courts when I disagree, now recklessly and viciously disregard the courts when they disagree. Thank GOD millions of people openly disagree with Mr. King and his comments. We will continue to celebrate Michael Jackson, an iconic and historic figure and I have been asked to be one of the speakers at the official Memorial at Los Angeles Staple Center tomorrow.
