As Twitchy told you, C.J. Pearson took issue with Jonah Goldberg calling out conservatives who cried foul over Bill Clinton’s infidelity but are giving proud womanizer Donald Trump a pass for his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels.
It’s nice that Pearson wants to sit at the grownups’ table, but, like other young activists, he’s gonna learn the hard way that if you want to be treated like an adult, you’ve got to take what goes with it. And after today, we’re not sure if he’ll want to pick a fight with Jonah Goldberg again.
Weekly Standard freelance writer Jerry Bier brought one of Pearson’s old tweets to Goldberg’s attention:
You'll have to excuse @thecjpearson. He appears to have had an epiphany sometime in last 30 months:https://t.co/kx21v28pWK

Good thing the internet never forgets.
This is just a little embarrassing, @thecjpearson:

It’s entirely possible that in almost three years, Pearson has changed his mind about infidelity. After all, he went from supporting conservatives like Ted Cruz to supporting Bernie Sanders to supporting Donald Trump, so he changes his mind a lot. But if this is how Pearson’s evolved, shouldn’t he just, you know, own it? Because that would be the adult thing to do.
You have a lot more deleting to do, @thecjpearson. Or you can just come clean and say you changed your mind on some things. People change. pic.twitter.com/tuHPmrOYat

It's almost like this kid isn't a serious person.

I hope he takes the time to learn. This is one of the reasons I waited until I was in my 40s before I really started to be vocal about my positions/ideas.
