13-Year-Old Obama-Denouncing YouTube Star Endorses Bernie Sanders

[TexasTowelie]

Right wing YouTube sensation CJ Pearson has made a political about-face and endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for president.

Last month, Pearson shocked his YouTube followers with an announcement that he was abandoning conservatism because of the GOP’s ineptitude on issues of social justice. Pearson had previously labeled the Black Lives Matter movement as “domestic terrorists.”

Said Pearson,

“I was tired of being a champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination. Tired of being a champion of any cause that denies equal rights to every American.”

The former conservative wonder kid became an internet phenom because of videos in which he denounced President Obama and others on the political left. The 13-year-old was on record as having endorsed Ted Cruz for President before he backed Sanders’ political horse.

Actually, he's probably a little young to even be thinking about it, but kudos to him anyway.
