Twitter Can't Decide if Melissa Carone Is Real or a Saturday Night Live Sketch
Is Rudy Giuliani... Leaking?
Yikes!
Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani and Team Trump invited Melissa Carone to come on down and be the latest star witness at a public hearing held in Michigan. She claimed to be a freelance IT worker for Dominion Voting Systems, a voting technology company, and Giuliani's star witness.
According to the Washington Post, Carone said that on Election Day, she worked a 24-hour shift at the TCF Center, where votes were being counted in Detroit, and was handling IT support for Dominion.

In an affidavit filed on November 10, she claimed to see ballots being scanned multiple times and said that vans bringing in meals for election workers were instead transporting tens of thousands of ballots. Marone's testimony was part of President Trump's legal effort to block the certification of the election in Wayne County. Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny denied the request on November 13, noting that Carone's and other witnesses' "interpretation of events is incorrect and not credible."
During her statement, Rudy Giuliani tried to shush her as she interrupted the state representatives with a repeated "I know what I saw."
Carone's impassioned testimony didn't go unnoticed. Even though she'd been deemed "not credible," she spoke about what she saw and caught the attention of Twitter, which was quick to compare her to a Cecily Strong character from Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock's Liz Lemon, or a full-on Karen.
Holy smokes the sequel is even better!
Rudy Giuliani tries to shush her to calm her down and the Republican even tries to reel her in!
She treats this Republican* like he’s a Chick-fil-A employee and the milkshake machine went down.

Is “Carone” just a fancy way of spelling “Karen”? #melissacarone

Other Twitter users incorporated Carone's newfound fame to other highlights of the Trump post-election tour, including Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
Melissa Carone is the human equivalent of Four Seasons Total Landscaping. #EvenRudy
Rudy's star witness appears to be some drunk soccer mom he picked up at the local watering hole.— PullTheStrings! (@PsychicWhoosh) December 3, 2020
Of course, getting the meme treatment means being compared to other memes.
