Rolling Stone

LYNETTE HARDAWAY, ALSO known as Diamond of the political duo “Diamond and Silk,” has died. Her death was confirmed on Diamond and Silk’s official Facebook page on Monday night.

“The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity,” the post read, which was accompanied by a photo of Hardaway. The post also linked to to a Christian crowdfunding site where contributions will be received by Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway Richardson, who is also known as “Silk.”

The cause of Hardaway death is not currently known; reports cite that her age was 51.

Former president Donald Trump posted the news on his Truth Social site on Monday, writing that Hardaway had passed. “Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans,” he wrote. “Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina.” He added, “Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!”

Condolences to her family and friends.

reportorially,

1. Wow. Imagine having trump sad because you died.

I'd feel more comfortable if trump was depressed because I am alive.

[mwb970]

15. I don't believe a word of what he said.

trump does not give a CRAP about anyone but HIMSELF and never has.

[SergeStorms]

17. I'm thoroughly depressed....

because Trump is alive.

I wonder if he realizes how much the spirit of our entire country would be elevated with his death?

Nah, Trump isn't one for introspection, outtrospection, or any type of spection. His thoughts go no further than the tip of his brown nose.

2. She denied that her hospitalization in late November was due to COVID.

Whether or not it was, I'd say chances are very high that the reason for that hospitalization is tied to if not responsible for her death.

[SergeStorms]

18. I'm sure there were several comorbidities.

They loved living the high life. MAGA-elites are like that.

[CoopersDad]

3. May she have gone to a better place. Covid sucks.

I suspected but had no clue until checking and reliable sources, including her sister Silk, explain that she was hospitalized in November but did not blame Covid and I suppose HIPPA prevents that detail from being published.

I don't know if they were anti-vax or not, it doesn't matter, it's a loss to her family and friends.

6. They had been fired from FOX for promoting COVID disinformation

Just as a point of information.

[Samrob]

21. So they fired Diamond and Silk over COVID disinformation but not Hannity, Carlson, or Ingram??

Even their hypocrisy is racist.

[oregonjen]

7. It's HIPAA

[SunSeeker]

10. She was very anti-vax.

The sisters lost their gigs with Fox News in 2020 for spreading conspiracy theories about coronavirus, including claims that the virus was “deliberately” spread by “deep-state snakes” and that a vaccine would be used for population control.

4. Even with the inappropriate capitalization

I find it hard to believe Trump wrote that statement.

If they don't release the cause of death, assume it was covid.

[Harker]

26. Cue cards. n/t

[iloveObama12]

5. WTF?

Rest In Peace

SMH! she led astray by a POS like Donald Trump

[Bucky]

14. She dove headfirst into Crazy Lake for the love of the money.

Everyone who bumbled into the Trump sinkhole by now has had plenty of time to figure out they were being bamboozled and ditch the scam. The likes of Diamond and Silk are scammers, villains, not victims

[SunSeeker]

32. Exactly. nt

8. Lot of Gaslighting there.. That's really young.. the

article I read said she was admitted to the hospital in Nove due to Covid but there was no reason given for her death.

Supporting dt & a warrior for humanity doesn't fly.

[SunSeeker]

11. Her gaslighting no doubt led to a lot of infections and deaths among their followers.

And ultimately her own.

According to the Daily Beast, Hardaway briefly returned to her show the following month and dismissed unverified online reports that she had been hospitalized with COVID-19. She filmed her final episode on Dec. 15.

12. Not Sorry

The world is a better place.

Say hello to Herman & Rush.

[mwb970]

16. And Adolf.

13. Just 51? Damn..

I reckon Qanon about to go nuts with some kooky conspiracy.
I think a send off like that is the RWNJ version of a four-jet missing man flyby

[Celerity]

19. they kept only the best company

Louie G for one

[Takket]

23. She was a grifter that jumped on the antivax craze

As a way to make money even though she knew pushing it was killing MAGAts. She is no better than a murderer.

Good riddance.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

24. Anti-vaxxers killed my naive 84 yr old brother.

He was a Democrat, completely computer illiterate, sometimes watched Fox News, and his caregiver was an ignorant, poorly educated worshiper of the MAGAt king who went to a MAGAt king worshiping christo-fascist church.

Anti-vaxxers convinced him that getting vaxxed was dangerous

He caught Covid, and died 2 months later from lung and heart damage. His heart was already weak before he caught Covid.

Anti-vaxxers are all guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, as far as I'm concerned.

25. Killed my wife's aunt

She was a nice old lady, and her Covid truther children tested positive just before Thanksgiving 2020, but because they didn't have a fever, they told her they weren't contagious and pressured her into coming to Thanksgiving dinner. She got Covid and died shortly before Christmas.

When she tested positive for it, they told her, "It's just like the flu" and they went on vacation to Mexico. She was intubated before they got back from vacation, so they never got to say goodbye. Idiots, and murderers. They killed their mother.

[ecstatic]

27. Awful! Nt

[SunSeeker]

33. OMG. How do they live with themselves?

Do they even care that they killed their mother?

[Johnny2X2X]

34. Denial

Still in denial. It tore the family apart as people rightfully blamed them. Their stance was that they weren't sick, and she could have caught it anyway. And the only reason it killed her was she had other health problems.

Infuriating. There's a large part of the family who will never talk to them again.

[SunSeeker]

35. They were her "other health problems." nt

[Johnny2X2X]

36. Exactly

She was a smoker, but in decent health and not all that old, 65. She 100% wouldn't have died if they had told her to stay home.

And here's the worst thing, it was her daughter and son in law's Thanksgiving dinner. They told her they tested positive on Tuesday and she said she wasn't coming, they had to work on her to browbeat her into going. They told the husband's parents and they said, "No, we aren't going" and they didn't.

Then the following week, they were leaving for Mexico, and she was supposed to watch their kids, but wasn't feeling well so couldn't (It was Covid, but not diagnosed yet). They were furious with her and hired a friend's daughter to come watch the kids. Then she went in the hospital and they heard about it when they were on vacation, they stayed on vacation. She was on a tube by the time they got home, never got to talk to her again.

Another story. A friend's father was an antivax Covid truther idiot. The whole family was really. So they told their daughter (my friend), in the Summer of 2021 when she was supposed to visit, "Well, we have that bug that's going around, best you not come this time." Well, that bug was Covid and it completely ruined the father's health for good. Been 18 months since then and he's had 2 strokes and a heart attack. Previously a healthy man who owned a rather large business with 300+ employees. Probably not going to see the Summer as his health is getting worse and worse. Sleeps 20 hours a day now, can barely walk, and is in and out of the hospital. "That bug", my lord are some people stupid and stubborn.

And there would have been some Covid idiocy out there no matter what, but 95% of it is because of Trump lying about it constantly saying it's just the flu, it's no big deal, people shouldn't wear masks etc etc. That was the genesis of most of the vaccine hesitancy.

[SunSeeker]

37. Good grief. Sounds like my in-laws.

We used to have Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter with them every year. We stopped going in 2020. They are covidiots to the extreme. The have had covid twice now. One has long covid. They're lucky none of them have died...but there's still time.

[Jilly_in_VA]

28. Go tell someone who cares.

Sorry to sound hard-hearted, but she was horrible. And anti-vaxx.

My daughter has Covid right now, and she is vaxxed and boosted. She's pretty miserable.

[Initech]

29. If this isn't proof of how dangerous anti-vaccine propaganda is...

Then I don't know what is!

[ZonkerHarris]

31. They will never admit she died of Covid

But you know that’s what happened.

[Deep State Witch]

38. I'm sure that she's partying with Herman Cain and Meat Loaf

In the section of the afterlife reserved for anti-vaxxers who died of COVID.

[Richard58]

39. My response to her death was. "Good riddance!"

She was a grifter, bigot and professional liar. The world is a better place without her. I know that sounds harsh but it is how I feel.

40. Trash thread. (n/t)
