The fallout from last week’s voter fraud hearings in Georgia continues. With Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani checking into the hospital due to COVID-19 infection and possibly drunk “witness” Melissa Carone becoming a meme sensation, comic Amy Schumer has decided to weigh in. Over the weekend, Schumer posted a searing impersonation of Carone which has gone viral itself.
In the video, Schumer dons a pair of eyeglasses and puts her hair in a messy beehive–it looks more like a nest of some kind–and proceeds to skewer Carone by repeating some of the Republican conspiracy theorist’s claims.

“That poll book is completely, completely, completely off,” Schumer slurs, writing about in her chair. In another clip, she repeats Carone’s claim “That poll book is off by 100,000,” while mocking Carone’s oddly loose body language. In another clip, she sips from a martini glass while accusing Georgia officials of cooking the voter roster.
How about we take this to the next level?

Melissa Carone became a viral celebrity after accusing Georgia officials of manipulating votes to swing the state for Joe Biden in the 2020 Election. Her testimony–which was not given under oath–earned attention both for its outrageous claims, as well as for Carone’s slurred speech and shaky posture. Her behavior has prompted wide speculation that Carone was drunk during her remarks. To date, judges in Georgia have ruled that Carone is not a reliable witness, and her allegations are unfounded.
Memo to Ms. Carone: somehow, Amy Schumer’s mockery makes her a more credible witness than you.

I don’t mean to make this sound like an accusation nor certainly don’t want to appear that I think Trump has a legit claim with GA., but Georgia does have a history of “false paperwork” in it’s past. Does anyone remember the state teacher scandal where standardized tests were doctored and/or completed by teachers to make their numbers look better? A principal got prison time for the fraud and a bus load of teachers lost their licensing and jobs over it. If Georgia’s voting results were way out of line with other states numbers, I might give it a thought, but doesn’t appear that Georgia votes really stand out as strange from what I have seen.

I live in GA and this State has been run by the GOP from top to bottom for decades. Even the election board is lily white Republicans. The fact that Biden won proves that the blue wave here was massive and swamped any nefarious tricks by the republicans.

Georgia has counted its votes three times now, and the totals are consistent.
THREE TIMES.
And each time, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the state of Georgia.
Let’s say that again. Georgia has counted its votes three times, the second time BY HAND, and each time it has counted, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have won the state of Georgia.
Also, the state of Georgia is completely controlled by Republicans who all supported the traitor Don the Con, so they would have had every opportunity and incentive to give the state to him if they could. Kemp, Raffensberger, etc. are extremely conservative Republicans. They are not liberals, centrists, progressives, or anything of the sort. They are right-wing Republican supporters of Don the Con, but they are not traitors or fraudsters who are willing to fix an election, like the man they voted for.
But they couldn’t cheat or steal the election because despite all the voter suppression, etc. they did thankfully follow the law when it came to the November 3 election and the vote counting, for which I will do something I do not do often, which is to praise Republicans.
Don the Con lost, despite all his attempts to cheat and rig the election and lie to people to get them to misbelieve the truth right in front of them. He should be brought before a court of law and tried for his numerous crimes!
