Young conservative CJ Pearson, who became famous for attacking President Obama on YouTube, tweeted his endorsement of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for president Monday. This is a turnaround from the 12-year-old’s April endorsement of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

Cruz responded on Twitter saying, “Grateful for your support. Let’s #MakeDCListen and break the #WashingtonCartel!”
