*The 13-year-old conservative activist who blasted President Obama for inviting 14-year-ld Ahmed Mohamed to the White House said the president has since blocked him on Twitter – but a WH spokesman says it’s not true.

C.J. Pearson claimed the White House blocked him after he criticized Obama’s decision to invite Mohamed following his arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school that officials mistook for a bomb.

Pearson posted on Twitter the notification saying he could no longer view or follow the president’s activity on the site.

But the White House claims it doesn’t block anyone from Twitter, as the administration’s policy is that official governmental accounts not block any followers. Frank Benenati, an assistant White House press secretary, Tweeted about the policy after Pearson made his accusation.

On social media, the fight quickly escalated, with Obama supporters suggesting Pearson doctored up the post, while supporters of Pearson accused the White House of lying, reports TheHill.com.

Pearson responded to the White House’s denial with a video posted to Facebook on Wednesday evening in which he calls the denial “completely fallacious.”

“If you think the American people are gonna fall for your little tricks, you’re downright crazy,” Pearson said. “This administration has lied to the American people time and time again. They lied about Bengazi. They lied about the IRS. They lied about every issue of importance to the American people.”

Pearson said he stood by the screenshot, adding, “It almost sucks that this is what it takes to get a response from the White House.”
