On Thursday afternoon, 13-year old CJ Pearson warned his 43,900 followers not to believe what they read. The black Georgia teenager, whose activism and online success had made him a youth outreach chairman for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), had been trading messages with a reporter for Glenn Beck's news site, The Blaze. Oliver Darcy, a reporter for the site, was asking Pearson to prove -- as he had claim, to great viral attention -- that President Barack Obama had truly blocked him on Twitter. In lieu of proof, Pearson was calling for help.
"In a few minutes, @oliverdarcy is going to release a hit article on me and I'm going to take it," Pearson wrote. "Because here's what the PR folks are saying: say you lied and apologize to avoid backlash. But, instead, I choose to stand by my word. While the article will be incriminating, all we have in politics is our word and I stand by it. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed in @theblaze."
It was one of the more confusing moments in a story born to confuse. Coreco JaQuan Pearson's profile had been growing well before the Twitter story, thanks to his precocious and silver-tongued video denunciations of the president. The most successful had come just this month, when Pearson locked his eyes on a webcam and asked -- rhetorically -- why a president who so blatantly disrespected police officers had so quickly invited Texas teenager Ahmed Muhammad to the White House, after being disciplined for bringing to school a home-made clock that administrators mistook for a bomb.
"Mr. President, when cops are being gunned down, you don’t invite their family to the White House," Pearson said. "You never did. But when a Muslim kid builds a clock? Well, come on by."(continued)

More a question of “How?” than “Why?”, actually.
Either way. The objective was achieved. And the Left at WaPo are PISSED and doing their mantra spewing best to spin this and make it go away.
It’s telling that the Washington Post can spend all this time on a thirteen year old kid but chooses to defend a truly despicable former Secretary-of-state who is obviously lying through her teeth!!!
Seems to be overly-articulate for a 13-year-old kid.
I don't remember which thread it was on, but immediately after this story broke and was posted here on FR, I posted the following two words in response to an article posted here:
TEST RUN.
I still stand 100% behind those two words and I think that's my shortest post EVER since being a member here on FR, dating back to 1998. (I just wish I could find the post and thread I said those two words in.)
TEST RUN......The Russians, French and I believe Belgians have warned us since Beslan that our schools will be targeted to break our morale. The Mocha Messiah is sacrificing our children to fullfill his Caliphite.
Did you read the article? It doesn’t make Obama look bad. It makes this kid look bad. He was called out by Glen Beck and a few others that he fabricated the whole thing and it has been proven as such. Not by White House Tecchies trying to put him in his place but by masses of people. He stole a satirical picture posted a long time back, changed the text and claimed it was real and that the White House blocked him.
Kid got caught lying on the Internet. He is a stupid 13 year old. That is all.
Thank you!
I think I must be getting too old when I can no longer effectively use a search engine to find things I post.
You are missing MY point. These children are being USED not to generate opinions, but to generate money.
If a parent were using their teenaged daughter to make the same gains...they would be called a pimp.
And you cannot see through the cliche’d “Red white and blue” message.
If you stopped and looked at both situ ions for just a second, the scales would fall from your eyes, and the sight would not please you.
I am not against making a buck. I am against pimping out my kids to do it.
