Black Twitter Drags Diamond And Silk For Defending Trump's Coronavirus Debacle
Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway and Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway are known as Diamond and Silk. Two vloggers are passionate in their support of Trump and claiming people who do not think like them are on the “Democratic plantation.”
Last night, the pair claimed the media has inflated coronavirus deaths to make Trump look bad.
Silk said, “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, but it took 39 days, from January all the way up to February the 29th, I believe, for the first person to die.”

She continued, “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. … 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 wanted this open by Easter. Me and you was talking. I said, ‘Now watch the number of deaths go up. Watch everything increase because they wanted to make it look bad in front of our eyes.'”
Black Twitter immediately clapped back at the Fox News commentators for suggesting that the deaths of Americans is a media conspiracy to make Trump look bad -- considering he looks pretty bad on his own.
