It appears Georgia’s next governor isn’t afraid to call out fake news.
Former representative of Georgia Vernon Jones who is running to be the next Governor of Georgia annihilated a CNN reporter at his latest press conference.
It all started when Rudy Giuliani came to Atlanta to give his endorsement to Vernon Jones, Giuliani called out Georgia’s current governor Brian Kemp for ignoring election fraud that occurred in the state.
Jones then took over the mic and called out a CNN reporter for not doing real journalism and ended by saying CNN stands for “Controlling Negroes”.

The Associated Press had more details to share on the press conference:
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is endorsing a Democrat-turned-Republican who’s challenging Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the state’s 2022 Republican primary.
Giuliani spoke to reporters Wednesday before headlining a fundraising dinner for former state Rep. Vernon Jones in Atlanta.
Jones was on the outs with his party when he shot to prominence in Republican circles as an African American Democrat who endorsed Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. Jones has since switched parties and doubled down in support of Trump’s false claims of election fraud, appealing to Republican voters in Georgia who might be unhappy with Kemp. Trump has repeatedly attacked Kemp but has not so far endorsed Jones.
Giuliani said his main reason for endorsing Jones was their shared belief that then-President Trump was cheated out of Georgia’s 16 electoral votes and the overall election.
