Donald Trump Praises Diamond & Silk After Fox News Cut Ties
After reports broke of Fox News parting ways with personalities Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson, President Donald Trump stepped up, praising and voicing his support for his number one supporters.
While the dynamic duo haven’t had one new episode air on their weekly Fox Nation show, and haven’t made any new appearances on Fox Business since March 7, the new reports of severed ties spawned a response from the women. On Tuesday, they took to Twitter to blast, “Haters keep saying they hate Diamond and Silk, but you can’t hate what you ain’t never loved!”

Additionally, the message to their 1.4 million followers prompted a response from Trump, who tweeted, “But I love Diamond & Silk, and so do millions of people!” Furthermore, initial reports from the Daily Beast, claim the severing came after the duo theorized that the coronavirus was man-made and intentionally spread.
On March 31, Richardson stated, “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.”

Responding, Hardaway said, “Come on.” Richardson continued, “Is this being deliberately spread? Look, I’m not being a conspiracy theorist, this is real, but I’m asking my own questions: What the hell is going on? This is something that was man-made. I think it’s a little deep state action going on behind the scenes. … To me, this is something undercover. It is engineered.”
