4:55Now PlayingA thirteen-year-old YouTuber famous for his anti-Obama videos is now distancing himself from the GOP. His reason for doing so is awesome. Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"CJ Pearson, the 13-year-old viral YouTube star made famous for his rants against President Barack Obama, has renounced conservatism, according to a Friday interview with CNN.
