NEW YORK (AP) — 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 Gillibrand (JILL’-uh-brand.)
King has said in the past that he represents the interests of “blue-collar conservatives.”
