Shuffle Along: Twitter Suspends Diamond & Silk’s Account For Coronavirus Misinformation

Looks like Twitter’s war on misinformation done claimed another Trump supporting account.

Just weeks after Donald Trump’s righthand news media goon, Rudy Giuliani had his account suspended for endangering public health with his opinions about the coronavirus, Trump’s favorite African-American Fox News duo, Diamond & Silk done found themselves next to “America’s Mayor” in the social media doghouse for the same exact reason.

According to Deadline, Twitter announced on Wednesday (April 8) that they had “locked” the “political commentators” account due to their “violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy.” In other words, they were out there pumping bullsh*t advice that could’ve gotten more people killed.

But it was this one tweet on Wednesday that made Twitter take action and ban them until further notice.

“The only way we can become immune to the environment; we must be out in the environment. Quarantining people inside of their houses for extended periods will make people sick!”

It’s almost like they want people to die. And we don’t mean just Diamond and Silk, but those far-right conspiracy theorists who continue to make wild claims about herd immunity, miracle cures, and praying the virus away. Data is already showing that COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting African-American and Latino communities due to our work requirements as we can’t afford to abide by the “Stay-At-Home” orders, and then we have this kinda f*ckery to worry about?

While this was in fact the right move to make, we wonder when Twitter will officially suspend the misinformation king who resides in the White House that slaves built? He more than anyone deserves to be silenced for not just his lies, but hate speech, racism, and xenophobia.

Just sayin.’

Coontastic Aunties Diamond & Silk Says Coronavirus Numbers Inflated To Make Trump Look Bad

Diamond & Silk have once again put on their good tapdancing shoes and polished up those pearly whites to smooch more of President Donald Trump’s wide behind. The Fox News’ hosts are claiming that the tally of deaths stemming from the coronavirus and COVID-19 situation are baked to make Trump look terrible in the media.

Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, the real names of Diamond & Silk, hopped on their live video broadcast over the weekend to make the explosive and dangerous claims that the reports of death are being falsified.

“In a matter of two weeks, over 1,000 people supposedly died from the coronavirus. In a two weeks time period, over 1,000 people after being tested positive have died from the coronavirus,” Silk is seen saying on the video before adding that “it took 39 days, from January all the way up to February the 29th” for the first person to die as Diamond chimed in.

The two engaged in more incoherent banter while heaping praise on President Trump as they often do.

“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 continues.

She added, “At the time he said it there was 25,489 cases with 307 deaths. Instantaneously, you had the media calling President Trump out, he wanted open by Easter, he want this open by Easter – me and you was talking, I said now watch the number of deaths go up.

On Twitter, the hosts’ names began trending on with folks pointing out their fallacy as expected. We’ve got those reactions listed below.
