Gillespie/TIGHAR headlines Rachel Maddow Show

[Randy Jacobson]

July 29, top story on The Rachael Maddow Show was about some rich bozo who is the largest donor to the Trump and RFK Jr. presidential races, who also believes he saw video of Amelia's head in a cellophane bag in prior video available to TIGHAR.  He also sued the exploration company after donating $1M to join an expedition.  While TIGHAR was never mentioned explicitly, Ric Gillespie was, at least twice.  It was also mentioned that this person was restricted from posting on their forum.

Who is this person?  Timothy Mellon. 

I wasn't participating on the forum back then, but it must have been wild, to say the least!

Hey Randy,

I'm a frequent Rachel Madow viewer.  Saw the entire segment.  Her description of Mr. Mellon and his conviction he saw various things 9(toilet paper, banjo, a head, a hand etc.) was accurate and hilarious.  Loved it!

Rachel's reaction to Mellon's claims was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.  She was laughing so hard she could barely talk.
