After black conservative C.J. Pearson was blocked by President Obama’s official Twitter account, White House officials saw fit to mock the 13-year-old activist.
Pearson, whose recent video criticizing Obama over his response to the ‘Clock Kid’ controversy went viral, claimed that he had been unceremoniously blocked by the President’s official Twitter account, providing a screen shot to prove it.

White House Assistant Press Secretary Frank Benenati then tweeted a terse message, asserting that nobody has ever been blocked from the official @POTUS account.
Public Service Announcement: Nobody is or has ever been blocked from the @POTUS twitter account

Pearson fired back, unhappy at the tone of the tweet and the implication that he was a liar.
If the WH would have said, @POTUS accidentally blocked me, I could move on. But to call me a liar? Outrageous. https://t.co/OjzW3hhFxU

Instead of acting with a touch of class, apologizing to Pearson for the ‘mistake’ and moving on, other White House officials dug themselves a deeper hole, with Press Secretary Josh Earnest retweeting Benenati’s blunt message.
Jesse Lee, White House Director of Progressive Media and Online Response, then tweeted a snarky joke which implied that Pearson was a “birther” conspiracy theorist.
Some top notch trolling for @Benenati44 right now, who refuses to show his long form twitter blocking policy or college transcripts.

Critics immediately accused Lee of being classless.
When racist white male adults publicly attack a thirteen yr old black kid! @jesseclee44 @Benenati44

@jesseclee44 @Benenati44 Is everybody in the Obama Admin a childish, petty dick?

@jesseclee44 Wait, so a kid shows a screenshot that prove he was blocked an you and @Benenati44 act like a couple of frat boys?

Perhaps if Pearson had filled a briefcase full of wires and circuit boards and claimed it was a clock, he would be getting a White House invitation, not scorned by White House officials. But then again, he’s a conservative, so that’s never going to happen.
