1. Clearly foolproof evidence that Trump has a great relationship with both women and "the blacks."

Checkmate, liberals!

2. More lies and bullshit. They all treat it like a reality TV show

[Botany]

3. Pure gas lighting

BTW I think Diamond and Silk stole large parts of Franela's act and they really don't
believe the crap they are saying and they are just conning money from dumb ass
Fox watching Trump heads.

Trump Head, it so good to see you guys, Diamond and Silk and how blessed we are to have President Trump


D & S, yes and thank the Lord Jesus for letting us meet such a wonderful person like you ... do you wanna take a picture w/us? Only $50.00 and a Diamond and Silk t shirt is only $30.00.

15. Diamond and Silk Drop 'Gems' on Climate Change

... they took on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s push for a Green New Deal ...

“Now, I know that she is worried about climate change but she needs to talk to Mother Nature,” said Diamond. “With the earth rotating at 1,000 miles per hour, OK, 365 days of the year, we’re subject to feel climate changing a little bit” ...

16. Oh My.

I'm still learning about who these people are. I've long assumed they were a hip hop duo who speak out, but apparently they're right wing stooges without talent other than parroting party lines.

With gems like this, can cabinet positions be far off?

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Anyone remember Kanye?

They were also such great friends.

[JDC]

18. Grift of a feather

[RhodeIslandOne]

19. A modern day minstrel show

How embarrassing.

20. Who Are Diamond and Silk?

By Liam Stack

... Ms. Hardaway, or Diamond, and Ms. Richardson, or Silk, became known in conservative circles for their social media videos, which heap praise on Mr. Trump and launch sometimes racially tinged attacks on his critics, like calling the Democratic Party “a plantation” and Hillary Clinton “a slave master.”

... They attacked Democrats in a video interview with the National Rifle Association, described the removal of Confederate statues as a liberal plot “to erase history,” and encouraged Mr. Trump to fire Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

They also sell Trump merchandise on their website ...

They were paid $1,274.94 by the Trump campaign in November 2016 for “field consulting” ... The White House did not respond to an email asking what those services entailed ...

Bree Newsome .. described them .. as “a modern-day minstrel show” aimed at “white conservatives who want to believe Trump can’t be racist or they themselves can’t be racist because there are these two black women named Diamond and Silk who are constantly rooting for Trump” ...
