Infamous Rudy witness Mellissa Carone Says she's Running For Michigan House

Mellissa Carone, who rose to memedom last month during a Michigan legislative hearing on election fraud, hopes to parlay her infamy into a state House seat.

"My ultimate goal is to get our ballots hand-counted and clean out Lansing just like draining the swamp in D.C. because that’s what we need," she said.

Carone became the subject of a flurry of negative media attention and a "Saturday Night Live" sketch after filing an affadavit in an election-fraud suit and appearing Dec. 2 as a witness for Rudy Giuliani during a House Oversight Committee hearing in Lansing.

None of this would be possible without social media.

I have a friend who wrote a poem with this phrase:
"Infamy and fame are one in the same, and no one can tell the difference."

It runs in my mind a lot.
