Born in Augusta, Georgia, Pearson was raised in Grovetown. His political interest deepened aged eight, when he began blogging in support of local conservative politicians. He embarked on a career as an internet personality when, in early 2015, he uploaded a video to YouTube defending comments made by former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani and criticism of then President Barack Obama, which quickly gained international attention. After this, he began his career as a freelance journalist and has campaigned for several Republican politicians.
Pearson was involved in the unprecedented attempt to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. A conservative, he describes himself as an anti-establishment populist. Pearson is the executive director of Young Georgians in Government and executive director of Teens for Trump. He is also a political advisor and active in Georgia Republican politics.
In January 2024, he announced his candidacy in a special election for Georgia House of Representatives's 125th district but was later defeated. He was set to run again for the same office in a regular election but withdrew his candidacy in March 2024. Provided by Wikipedia
