From diamond and silk to diamond after diamond, conservatives are pouring out prayers from Trump

From Dr. Derek Ellerman

If you’ve been a conservative who’s been paying attention over the past several years, you’re surely familiar with firebrand Trump supporters Diamond and Silk.

Sadly, we learned last night of the tragic death of Diamond, real name Inita Lynette Hardaway, at the age of 51.

The two sisters made a huge splash in conservative social media circles during Trump’s ascension and have been movement favorites ever since.

President Trump shared the sad news last night:

Political Insider Remembers Diamond

Of course, the brutal behavior of Diamond and her sister was celebrated in these pages.

I mean, telling Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to “Suck it up, Buttercup” is just classic.

Or better yet, when he blamed the Philadelphia Eagles for turning a post-Super Bowl visit to the Trump White House into a political statement:

This humble author’s personal favorite moment came when the dynamic duo invited Whoopi Goldberg to try to waterboard.

Hilarious and fearless.

I hope I can speak for my fellow insiders when I say that Diamond will be missed and we pray for her surviving sister Harneeta during this devastating loss.

It’s probably some comfort to know that your loved one has made such an impact on the world.
