Conservative Black vloggers Diamond and Silk have suggested that Fox News was racist after they were sacked for airing COVID-19 conspiracies that were also proliferated by white hosts like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, according to The Daily Beast, which obtained a copy of their upcoming book.

The duo, whose real names are Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, were hired by Fox News in November 2018 to produce videos for the network's Fox Nation subscription platform.

The pair — who are also sisters — used their platform to debate conspiracy theories, like whether the coronavirus was "man-made," if 5G technology was being used to infect people, and that the US death toll was being fabricated to damage President Donald Trump.

Their contract was terminated in April 2020. "After what they've said and tweeted you won't be seeing them on Fox Nation or Fox News anytime soon," a network source told The Daily Beast at the time.

1. Nuthin' to do with that they're stupid?

[durablend]

2. Idiots eating their own

Gotta love it.

Gonna need more popcorn me thinks.

[Greybnk48]

3. Their 15" of being useful idiots is over.

Never to be heard from again.

[highplainsdem]

4. Those nitwits are also claiming in their new book that they were offered $150,000 to switch

their support from Trump. Supposedly this happened, and supposedly they weren't for sale.

I don't believe that it happened, or that they aren't for sale.

Haven't found any details so far about who supposedly thought their influence so great that it seemed worth $150,000.

But it makes a juicy unconfirmed story to help sell a book to RWNJs.

13. Wouldn't doubt it. Not to get their support but to expose them as opportunists

Thing is, it would have taken way more $$$ than that. They were raking it in on the Trump rally circuit.

[gratuitous]

5. That can't possibly be true

Racism is totally over, and if it isn't, it's not supposed to affect the better-than-you folks in the house.

We'll see if Lynnette and Rochelle have learned anything.

[packman]

6. Idiots even for Fox - Cringed every time I saw them

[maryellen99]

7. They are grifters-before they became "conservatives"

They were all about BLM and justice for Sandra Bland.

[HotTeaBag]

8. They're right, Fox News is racist (at least the opinion side of things).

So, yeah.

[Gothmog]

9. I am surprised that Fox dropped these two idiots

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Can't be true, since there's "zero" racism on the right...... Aww, Zirconia and Polyester, the

grifting never stops.....

[SCantiGOP]

11. Sarah Palin once said

That very few people would vote Dem if we all imagined that Jesus was in the voting booth with us (she was bashing gays and abortion).
All of the repubs should have to imagine these two moronic grifters in the booth with them.
Or maybe Eric: “Yeah, go ahead snd vote for my Dad, he’s like really smart.”

[JHB]

12. Who wants to tell them?

[Jirel]

14. They have a point.

Faux should fire Hannity too, along with Laura Ingram and Faux & Friends. Just sayin.’
