Rep. King: M.J. a ‘pervert,’ ‘low-life,’ ‘pedophile.’

Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) is not thrilled by the non-stop coverage of Michael Jackson’s death, and he’s taken to YouTube to share his thoughts.

After visiting what appears to be an American Legion hall in his district, King decided to say a few choice words about the late King of Pop, contrasting the coverage of his death to the minimal coverage of U.S. soldiers dying overseas.

For the last, I don’t know how long now, this low life, Michael Jackson his name, his face, his picture is all over the newspapers, television, radio. All we hear about is Michael Jackson.

Let’s knock out the psychobabble, this guy was a pervert, he was a child molester, he was a pedophile, and to be giving this much coverage to him day in and day out, what does it say about us and our country? I just think it’s too–we’re too politically correct. No one wants to stand up and say, ‘We don’t need Michael Jackson.’ You know, he died, he had some talent. Fine. people are dying everyday. Men and women are dying in Afghanistan. Let’s give them the credit they deserve.

I really think the media has disgraced himself, I think that too many people in public life have made fools of themselves by talking about Michael Jackson as if he was some kind of hero. There’s nothing good about this guy. He may have been a good singer, did some dancin’, but the bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson? So what are we glorifying him for?
