CJ Pearson is the Right’s Greta Thunberg, but worse

Conservatives completely oppose the exploitation of children for political purposes. Except, of course, when they’re pro-Trump, Black, and willing to provide cover for the far right.

Conservative teenager commentator CJ Pearson sparked a firestorm when he put out a (since retracted) tweet yesterday saying “white nationalism” is perfectly fine. And over the last few days, Pearson has relentlessly defended the Turning Point USA ambassador fired after socializing with open anti-Semites and white nationalists. Meanwhile, he pals around with fringe figures like Scott Greer, the former Daily Caller editor who wrote under a pseudonym for a white supremacist journal.
