Diamond of pro-Trump duo Diamond and Silk dies

Quote:

Lynette Hardaway, Diamond of the pro-Trump commentators Diamond and Silk, has died aged 51.

Quote:

The sister duo were well known in US politics, particularly for their YouTube and television appearances fervently supporting Mr Trump.

Quote:

The sisters grew up in North Carolina to Christian evangelist parents and were Democrats until they switched to support Mr Trump.

They first came to national prominence during the Trump presidential campaign in 2016 and soon became a favourite of his.

Regular appearances on Fox News followed and then a show of their own on subscription channel Fox Nation.

But Fox News cut ties with them after they caused outrage by promoting coronavirus misinformation.

This is very sad news for her colleagues, her friends and her family.

plague311 · 10th January 2023, 07:59 AM

Yeah, that's a bummer. 51 is pretty young nowadays.

Segnosaur · 10th January 2023, 08:05 AM

Great. Now who will Trump and the republicans trot out when they want to claim "see, we're not racist! We have black supporters".

I'm sure enough time will pass where Kanye can be used again. Is Walker still around?

This is from Salon, a story from March 2020:

Quote:

Fox Nation hosts Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway and Rochelle "Silk" Richardson falsely claimed Monday that the media has reported an increase in the number of COVID-19-related deaths in an attempt to hurt President Donald Trump. "Here's another thing. My president said, on March the 24th — Tuesday, this past week — my president said that he would love for America to be back up and running," Silk added, with Diamond affirming: "I knew this was going to happen." Salon link

This was just as the pandemic was getting bad and it was an especially dangerous time to be spreading misinformation. If someone thought the reporting was being exaggerated, okay, but they needed to be very cautious and damn well certain they had their facts straight. Not just blurt this stuff out.

I'm not going to state I'm glad Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway died, possibly from Covid19, but I don't have any great feeling of remorse. She was not a nice person. On the day after Hardaway and Richardson's broadcast on FOX -- March 31, 2020 -- 5,368 people died in the United States from Covid19.

Her death is evidence that "only the good die young" is not true. Scum die young too. The things she said helped lead to people's deaths. Good riddance.

Yes. It would be justice if Diamond died of covid. I gather that's not the case.

dudalb · 10th January 2023, 02:34 PM

Yeah, FOx will now have to find a new Aunt Thomisina to try to prove they are not racist.

newyorkguy · 10th January 2023, 03:27 PM

The news media has been seeking to learn Lynette Hardaway's cause of death but the family, business associates and friends won't comment. Reportedly Hardaway was hospitalized in November with Covid but, after returning to her Newsmax TV show -- FOX fired Diamond & Silk in April 2020 after they broadcast a series of false and misleading statements about how to combat the coronavirus -- she called the Covid reports "fake news." She did not, however, reveal any information as to the nature of her illness.

Newsweek reports-

Quote:

Some social media users have claimed that Hardaway, who was reportedly 51, died from COVID, but this has not been confirmed by her family or the group page. Many of these claims are made on the basis of a report from website publication Blavity, which now appears to be unavailable. Newsweek link

The only thing everyone seems to agree on is, Lynette Hardaway is definitely dead.

However she died, she will not be around to lead or cajole others to their premature and preventable deaths.

Puppycow · 10th January 2023, 08:53 PM

The fact that they are being tight-lipped about the cause of death makes me wonder.

I've got one of them. Well both of them really, a right pair of *****. Trying to convince my 80yr mum to forgo the vax and subsequent boosters. Luckily my mum thinks the BIL is a **** too and ignores him completely.

He's blackish. Or is that black-ish?

If you want to help continue her legacy they've set up a gofundme site.

That's some **** to make money off of your family member's funeral. If they had a show it's not like they couldn't afford the funeral or anything like that. This is grifting on a new level.

‘Are Americans Being Poisoned?’: Diamond’s Memorial Goes Off the Rails
Sat, January 21, 2023, 9:07 PM EST

https://news.yahoo.com/americans-bei...020712229.html

zorro99 · 22nd January 2023, 12:14 PM

Silk’s funeral went off the rails and turned into a campaign rally.

Trebuchet · 22nd January 2023, 12:26 PM

Loved this part:

Quote:

Silk’s comments immediately sparked a wave of outrage from figures on the right, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene taking to Twitter to declare, “I demand an IMMEDIATE investigation into Covid vaccines and the dramatic increase of people dying suddenly!”

zorro99 · 22nd January 2023, 12:53 PM

Silk claims Diamond was poisoned by the vaccine or something. Pillow man was there evidently. The local sheriff is covering up the investigation! Jesus is spotted with Silk campaigning for Trump who was Diamond’s boyfriend! Lots to unpack there.

newyorkguy · 22nd January 2023, 01:26 PM

Diamond was anti-vax but her sister implies her death is somehow linked to vaccines?

Quote:

“Instead of asking if Americans are vaxxed or unvaxxed, the real question to ask is: Are Americans being poisoned?” Silk asked the pro-Trump crowd filled with friends and family...Silk also recalled her sister’s final moments: “She said to me, ‘I can’t breathe.’ It was something out of nowhere, and no warning… Each breath was less, and less, and less.” Yahoo news link

Diamond got a trump-style sendoff, anyway.

Quote:

The former president, who visited with the duo in the White House and looped them into rallies in the past, referred to Diamond as one of the world’s “brightest stars” before making an odd remark about her sister. “I’m serious, I thought I knew them both. I didn’t. I knew Diamond but I didn’t know Silk at all. I just learned about Silk. You’re fantastic,” Trump said. Second Yahoo news link

At least trump mentioned the departed and her sister because apparently he mostly didn't.

Norman Alexander · 22nd January 2023, 01:42 PM

Every one of those funeral participants, and the deceased, has a bag of squirrels for a brain.

newyorkguy · 22nd January 2023, 01:46 PM

From local news coverage.

At left, 'mourner's' cars in parking lot during 'services.' At right, a local man shows up to protest.

Another day at the circus!

Quote:

“What I want to say to everybody is don’t you dare call me a conspiracy theorist. Because I saw it happen. I saw how it happened. I was there when it happened, and it happened suddenly,” she said, urging the crowd to “get some answers as to why people are falling dead suddenly.”

I'll take that dare: Silk, you're an idiot conspiracy theorist too stupid to know you're stupid.

The local sheriff is covering up the investigation! Jesus is spotted with Silk campaigning for Trump who was Diamond’s boyfriend! Lots to unpack there.
