Former Conservative Darling Jonathan Krohn Talks To Lawrence O'Donnell

[ohgeewhiz]

Jonathan Krohn (born March 1, 1995) is an American author who wrote the book Defining Conservatism and gained national attention when he addressed the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference at age 14. In 2006, he was voted "Atlanta's Most Talented Child" by Inside Edition. Krohn used his savings to self-publish his book, in which he sought to outline core conservative principles.

Krohn convinced skeptical organizers to allow him to speak for three minutes at the CPAC event on February 27, 2009. His speech was very well received by the audience and later gained popularity on the internet, garnering Krohn attention on national news programs on CNN and the Fox News. In 2009, he was a finalist for Time magazine's Time 100 for the year. His second book, Defining Conservatism: The Principles That Will Bring Our Country Back, was released on February 9, 2010.[3]

In 2012, Krohn openly declared he no longer held conservative views.

This young man's intelligence, openness & maturity is in stark contrast to the shameful recent behavior of Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, Cantor & the rest of the so called Republican Leadership. Meghan McCain has stated the warning that Republicans are losing young voters.
