The Trump campaign's cross-country legal sideshow continues.
Rudy Giuliani appeared before several members of the Michigan legislature Wednesday, December 2, with a witness who was so strange many people online suspected she was drunk.

Clips of Carone went viral on Twitter, where many people felt they were seeing a real-world version of an SNL character.
at this point the only question is whether she’s going to be played by Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong or Chloe Fineman https://t.co/nydZuPl6H6— Dave Itzkoff (@Dave Itzkoff)1606964067.0
At one point, Rudy Giuliani, perhaps realizing how unhinged his "star witness" sounded, reached over trying to stop Carone.

While some conservatives online rallied behind Carone's bizarre testimony, the relevant parties at the hearing seemed decidedly unconvinced by her tirade.
