RIP Diamond

[silverscreenselect]

AKA Lynette Hardaway, half of the "Diamond and Silk" conservative political commentary team who were outspoken supporters of Donald Trump. Silk is Diamond's sister, Rochelle Hardaway Richardson.

Age 51.

That's a shock. Condolences to Silk.

In November, the duo’s Twitter account asked followers to pray for Hardaway but didn’t specify her illness. Hardaway briefly returned to her show in December, dismissing unsourced online reports that the ardent COVID-19 vaccine opponent had been hospitalized with the coronavirus as “fake news.” Hardaway filmed her final episode on Dec. 15.

The funeral was a fiasco, with Donald Trump acting somewhat like he had never met Silk before.

But the real fun was Silk suggesting that the Covid vaccine - which apparently neither she nor Diamond received - killed Diamond. MTG used this to demand an investigation into why "people are dropping."

Incidentally, apparently the death certificate states Diamond died of heart disease and untreated hypertension, which is not a surprise.

The gist from Silk's funeral speech was that Diamond wasn't vaccinated, but may have caught something from someone vaccinated, which is not how vaccines work.

Regardless of their vaccine stance, why "not a surprise"?

Because those are pretty regular reasons why people die. Especially if you read about the events around her death. Sounds like she had a cardiac arrest in her kitchen.

Fair enough
