LOL!!!! Diamond & Silk question 'systemic racism' at Fox News after being axed

In their new book, Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson are claiming that Fox News pushed them out after they “dared to ask questions” that were also posed by white personalities. on the conservative network.

“Here is the crazy thing, y’all,” Silk says in the book. “Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham were questioning the same things we were questioning about the virus and pandemic. The very same questions we had raised were being discussed openly on Fox News.”

“When you really think about it, was this part of the systemic racism that everybody was talking about?”

A copy of the book was obtained by The Daily Beast and they noted that the MAGA-loving sisters are throwing their former network “under the bus.”

Uprising: Who the Hell Said You Can’t Ditch and Switch?—The Awakening of Diamond and Silk will be released on Tuesday, Aug 18.

The sisters were let go from Fox Nation, where their videos were regularly posted, after spreading conspiracy theories about the coronavirus pandemic. They claimed that the virus was being “deliberately spread” to make President Donald Trump look bad.

They will go to a white supremacist meeting in the deep piney woods, and before expiring on hospital beds will say “we didn’t know that they didn’t like Black people”
