12 year old black "conservative superstar" is caught up in lies and scams...

Why am I not surprised?

Young Fox News Sensation CJ Pearson Gets Scammed By His Own Side

I happen to think CJ Pearson is an obnoxious, media-created fraud. But he's only a kid, so I cut him a little slack for just trying to fashion himself as an African-American version of Family Ties' Reagan wannabe Alex P. Keaton. It's certainly garnered him a lot of attention and more than a couple of appearances on Fox News.

Unfortunately, Pearson also discovered the unpleasant truth about political discourse in general when he claimed to get a ration of death threats and generally unpleasant treatment after he started a Twitter war. Whether there were any actual threats is still in dispute.

One kid's "threats" spelled opportunities for others, and there are no hungrier opportunists on the planet than Republican political operatives. Like a shark to the kill, former Karl Rove pal and current Republican operative Ali Akbar* leapt to Pearson's "rescue."

Akbar, whose self-identification with online video marketing goes back to at least 2010, has been managing Pearson's online presence. Last week, the young Mr. Pearson got into a Twitter flame war with 'Mona Brown' @MonaB2010, a spat which turned into an all-too-familiar social media drama. Claiming that Mona had threatened his family with harm and lawsuits -- a claim that even other conservatives dispute -- Pearson then received fawning attention from Fox News, conservative politicians, and right wing websites. Meanwhile, Akbar began fundraising in his name at Rally.org under the auspices of Vice & Victory and the National Bloggers Club, collecting thousands of dollars. As I've reported here at BU before, neither organization exists as a legally-owned Akbar property. Little wonder that the Peach Pundit, who has done the best reporting so far on this tempest-in-a-Twitter-teapot, questions the legitimacy of the whole episode.
