The memorial service for "Diamond" of Diamond & Silk took place on Saturday, and Donald Trump was up on stage to celebrate her life. But instead of this being a "celebration" of her life, it turned into a giant lovefest for Trump, and even "Silk", her sister, made the entire event about everyone's love of the twice impeached former President. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about this disturbing event.

On Saturday, the memorial service for Diamond of the Conservative pundit, I guess you'd call them duo Diamond and silk, uh, was held diamonds, of course, real name was, uh, Lynette Hardaway. She passed away recently at the age of 51. So Saturday they held her memorial service, which is kind of like the funeral, but not exactly. And uh, during that time, Donald Trump was up there on stage the whole time at one point, talked about how much he loved Diamond, how great she was, what a good individual. You'll never meet a kinder person, he says, which is the kind of thing you're supposed to say at these types of memorials, right? It's supposed to be focused on the deceased. But it didn't last very long because Donald Trump then said that her sister Silk, cuz they were sisters, um, said he'd never met her, didn't, didn't really know who she was.
I mean, he knew of diamond and silk, but kind of made it seem like, yeah, I've never heard of you. Uh, the video, of course of that did go around the internet because yeah, was weird. You, you know, these people, you know both of them. They, they've been at your rallies up on stage with you, you have appeared with them, you've been interviewed by them. The these are not strangers to you, you know them. And here you are at the memorial service for one of the sisters telling the other sister, I don't know who the hell you are. Yeah, that was weird. What was even weirder, of course, was the fact that every single speaker that got up on stage, every one of them started talking about Donald Trump and how great Trump was. So here you are, Adam Memorial, your sister, and everybody up on that stage is talking about how much they loved Donald Trump.
And of course talking about how much Diamond herself loved Donald Trump. Cuz at one point, diamond and Silk's manager had this to say, and another secret about Diamond, she had a boyfriend. Yes, that's right. And she had a boyfriend or an, oh my God, we would talk about him all of the time. His name President Donald J. Trump. Yes, yes, yes. President Donald J. Trump, that was her boyfriend manager then added that, her quote, sidepiece again, according to the manager, that's the words they used, was Mike Lindell. So not only is this woman passed away, but now you're almost insulting her by saying that her side piece was Mike Lindell. And as I said, the entire thing ended up being a gigantic Trump rally. But there was one point where Silk herself, um, Rochelle Richardson, diamond sister, she did get up there and, uh, she started spreading some covid misinformation and of course, a bunch of anti-vax nonsense. Here is what she had to say with regard to the anti-vax crap. Instead of asking if Americans are vax or unx, the real question to ask is, are Americans
Being poisoned in the wild when they want to depopulate and sterilize a large group of animals? They usually inject one animal and that one animal infect the rest of the animals. That's, that's, that's, that's not how sterilization works. See, sterilization is not, you know, communicable. So not exactly sure what she's getting at, but she continued. People are dropping dead around here and nobody is talking about it.
