Rudy's Viral 'Star Witness' Is Now The Top Google Result When You Search 'Drunk Woman' Images

As the conspiracy theories and false claims seeking to overturn the 2020 Presidential election fail to bear fruit, one after the other, some efforts are getting more attention than others.

Particularly, Donald Trump's hearings before members of the Michigan legislature. The videos of the hearing went viral, especially its star witness Melissa Carone.


After several jokes about how Carone appeared to be drunk during her testimony people noticed something interesting about a search on Google.

Namely, Carone's image shows up when you search for "drunk woman".




Carone—who claimed to be a former contractor for Dominion Voting Systems—spent most of her testimony acting very aggressively with the legislators. She regularly spoke over and interrupted the officials asking her questions.

Rudy Giuliani even shushed her but failed to keep her under control.

From her messy updo, to her sarcastic responses to serious questions, many assumed the "star witness" was actually just very intoxicated.

Others felt she was a Saturday Night Live character brought to life.

Whatever the case, her presence made enough waves to get attention. Over the following weekend, if you searched "drunk woman" on Google, Carone's image would appear at the top of the results

Carone's testimony included claims of election misconduct at the Detroit counting center. This included that a register of those who voted was "off by 30,000."

Not only were Carone's claims swiftly debunked, but internet sleuths discovered her recent history of computer crime. Carone tried to send sexually explicit videos to her boyfriend's ex-wife so she could then claim the ex-wife stole the material.

Her ruse was discovered almost immediately, and Carone spent a year on probation, ending earlier this year.

Between information like this—and her conduct during her testimony—people online cannot believe she is real.




With a witness as reliable as Carone, it's easy to see why the Trump campaign's claims of voter fraud have been thrown out and dismissed by just about everyone, including the courts.

Friday saw their team lose six more cases in several states.

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
