HuffPo interviewed Mellissa Carone: "it was actually her fiance, Matthew Stackpoole, who sent the.."

...

She was previously charged under the name Mellissa Wright with first degree obscenity and using a computer to commit a crime. Under a plea agreement, she reduced her charge to disorderly conduct and received 12 months of probation, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County, Michigan, prosecutor’s office told HuffPost. Her probation ended on Sept. 13, just weeks before Election Day, when a temporary staffing agency employed Carone to assist Dominion Voting Systems in Detroit.

But Carone, in an interview with HuffPost on Saturday, claimed that it was actually her fiance, Matthew Stackpoole, who sent the explicit videos to his ex-wife and that she took a plea deal only because they didn’t want to spend any more time in court. Stackpoole also admitted to HuffPost in a text message that he sent the videos and suggested that police officers knew he had done so when officers “took [Carone’s] official ‘confession.’”

“The reason I got charged for it is it was sent off of my phone,” Carone, a self-proclaimed cybersecurity analyst, told HuffPost. “I just said screw it, I’m going to have to take it.”

...

Stackpoole told HuffPost in a text message that he sent the explicit videos to his ex-wife.

Nevertheless, Carone insisted that Americans should still believe she told the truth about voter fraud in Detroit. “I’m 100% credible,” Carone said. “I’ve already talked to Trump and Giuliani about this.”

When pressed on her claim that she spoke to the president, Carone revised her story. “I’ve talked directly to Giuliani that has spoken directly to Trump,” Carone said.

...

Stackpoole said that HuffPost shouldn’t focus on the false claims he and Carone made against his ex-wife and should instead look into the mass voter fraud conspiracy theories floated by his fiance.

He, too, appears to have bought fully into Trump’s false claims of a stolen election and still believes there’s a path for the Supreme Court to toss out the actual results and declare Trump the president for four more years.

“Once again, the left media is going to look ridiculous when SCOTUS overturns this election,” he texted HuffPost.

Limbaugh dies. Hannity moves into to his slot.
Ingraham moves into his.
Malkin moves onto Ingraham's rung.
She is the hot new crazy lady to get Malkin's gig.
I can't prove it; I just know it's true.

I look for her to be catapulted to fame, more American normalization of the crazed.

Magazine and TV interviews, exploding Twitter and Instagram followers, then a reality show.

Unfortunately, people like this become "influencers", and the more exposure she gets, even negative exposure, the more she will be seen as a regular, red blooded, American.

Now that's what I call "love."



I notice too that she couldn't do an interview without telling another lie.
