Jesse Jackson 'Will Delegitimize Bush'

Monday, 11 December 2000 12:00 AM EST

"We will take to the streets right now. We will delegitimize Bush, discredit him, do whatever it takes, but never accept him," Jackson said outside the U.S. Supreme Court to reporters from Human Events magazine, according to reports.

Jackson made unsupported allegations that Bush's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, "stole" the election by intimidating black voters throughout Florida.

Jackson planned rallies nationwide in support of Democrat Al Gore's refusal to concede, according to ABC News.

"I hope today that this court will rule 'let the vote count.' The only way you can determine a legitimate winner is for the votes to count," he said, though Bush has won the multiple vote counts that have already taken place in Florida.

Jackson admits he is a die-hard Gore supporter.

"We talk often, and we have prayer, and we analyze what's happening," he said, according to ABC News.

Jackson did not reveal why he was so desperate for Gore to seize the White House.
