A woman “randomly” interviewed by CNN at a Florida rally featuring Barack Obama on Friday says she was “influenced” to vote for the candidate.

“I think it will,” the woman said when she asked if the event swayed her to vote for gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.

But then the real news came: CNN was interviewing the candidate’s mother!

“What’s your name?” the reporter asked.

“My name is Frances Gillum,” the woman responded.

Yes, it’s the same Francis Gillum touted by her son’s campaign.

“Right now, it’s just so much emotion going on. That’s how I feel,” she said in a video posted by Gillum’s campaign.

“And I’m so excited and happy about this thing, I really am,” she said.

It’s not clear why CNN didn’t pick another person “randomly” to feature, or change the questions for the woman clearly biased to vote for her own son.

Last month, CNN used a clip of Gillum in a network promo critical of Fox News.

The Hill reported:

A new 6-second TV ad from CNN began circulating on Twitter and reportedly aired on the network on Tuesday, according to Mediaite.

“This is CNN, not Fox,” Gillum said during the debate, in a clip in the ad. “You have to bring facts to the conversation.”

The promo spot ends with CNN’s “Facts First” slogan.
