Young conservative activist C.J. Pearson has invited President Barack Obama to sit down with him for an interview, and considering some of the other people he's given interviews to, Pearson can't imagine why Obama wouldn't talk to him.
"President Obama has embraced many alternative media outlets, including a prominent YouTuber named GloZell, who seems to think it's OK to drink out of a bathtub full of cereal," Pearson, founder of Young Georgians in Government, told John Bachman on "Newsmax Now" on
Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

"I would say it's OK definitely to sit down with a 12-year-old kid who's introduced legislation to get young people involved and to get them interested in government," he explained. "It fits hand in hand with his agenda, and it fits in with mine."
However, Pearson said that he's still waiting for a reply from the White House.
Pearson, who is from the South, says that he agrees with the move to remove the Confederate flag from government property.
"This flag is an integral part of the southern history, but I do believe it's not representative of the future of the South," he said. "I believe for all of us to come together under a united front that it is best for this flag to come down."
"Should a losing nation have the luxury of having their flag on the grounds maintained by taxpayers?" he asked.
The founder of Young Georgians in Government said that he agrees with
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who said that the flag belongs in a museum.
