A 13-year old who got famous in the conservative media for videos criticizing President Obama and others is now saying he can no longer stand by the Republican party.

The first video on CJ Pearson‘s YouTube page––posted back in January––is titled “President Obama: Do you really love America?” He’s posted plenty of other videos on issues from Hillary Clinton to radical liberals to plenty of race issues over the past years.

When the president invited Ahmed Mohamed to the White House after the now-infamous clock incident, Pearson posted a video asking, “When cops are gunned down, you don’t invite them to the White House. You never did. But when a Muslim kid builds a clock, come on by. What is this world you’re living in?”

And on top of all that, he worked for a time as chairman for Teens for Ted, a youth group backing Ted Cruz.

But Pearson told CNN in a report out tonight that he can no longer be a “champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination.”

He explained, “I don’t want to be the conservative wonder kid that people follow because I make them feel good and like young people are part of their movement. I want to be followed because I’m the voice of a generation that doesn’t have a voice at the table.”

Pearson said he left Teens for Ted because Cruz wasn’t doing enough youth outreach, and made it clear “my views on the issues aren’t going to be dictated by one political platform or another.” He also apparently started to think about this decision after the video was released of Laquan McDonald being shot multiple times by the police.


It’s worth noting that one of his earliest videos, Pearson made an appeal to the Republican party to engage more with young people, saying “We can’t continue to be a party of old white guys.”

Now, there’s another reason why Pearson’s name might sound familiar. Back in September, he claimed that Obama blocked him on Twitter. The White House denied it and there were some questions about whether Pearson faked it. In the end, Pearson admitted to TheBlaze it was a hoax.

    Didn't the group that was managing him get caught up trying to pull a scam? (allegedly)

    Something about them making a fictional person that was stalking and attacking him on twitter for being a black repub, then asking for sympathy donations.

    We need an understanding of the proper use of "? ".

    A ? is an ignorant buffoon ass ? , who play to every negative stereotype, shamelessly shucking and jiving because they actually just don't know any better. An embarrassment to the race nonetheless.

    House ? willfully capitulate to what they think "? " wants. Purposefully turning a blind eye to the truth, they know full well about the schemes and injustices of their oppressor. Seeking validation and separation from the rest of us as one of the good "ones" or as Paul Mooney calls it "the illusion of inclusion". House ? , in my book is worse than a ? , because they do know better.

    This kid wasn't a ? , he was an aspiring house ? who fortunately got his ? wake up call early. He still got some reconciling to do but I'm glad he started on his path to black redemption.

    By my definition

    ? = Young Thug
    House ? = Ben Carson

    Use the critical thinking you opted not to use the first time and tell me which category he falls into

    Seems like you trying too hard to disagree with me...

    I said cooning was playing into the NEGATIVE stereotypes. To the people this kid was trying to impress "black republican" doesn't fall into negative stereotype. It isn't even a negative stereotype in my eyes. I got a ton of respect for black republicans like Condi Rice and Colin Powell.

    The negative stereotypes and "shuck and jiving" for a check ? I was referring to is more in line with a ? ? like Flava Flav.

    Im not trying hard at all. many ppl consider the 'black republican' a negative persona.
    he was clearly playing into that negative stereotype for applause.
    its 2015... the term ? has evolved. u don't have to put on blackface and red lipstick to be a ? .

    It evolved because people been using it wrong applying it to whatever ? black folks do that they hate.

    it is possible to be a house ? and a ? .
