    Default Diamond & Silk BUSTED Lying Under Oath!

    Will the GOP Make a Big Stink Or Will They Have an Excuse?


    Diamond and Silk busted for lying under oath about Trump payments as their House hearing goes off the rails


    Lynnette Hardaway, a.k.a., “Diamond” of the Trump-loving social media duo Diamond and Silk, told a blatant falsehood during a congressional hearing on Thursday when she said she and her partner were never once paid by President Donald Trump’s campaign.

    When asked by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) if she had received payments from Trump’s campaign, Hardaway said, “No, we have never been paid by the Trump campaign.”

    “You have never been paid by the Trump campaign?” the congresswoman asked again.

    “We have never been paid by the Trump campaign!” Hardaway shot back, growing increasingly agitated.

    “Not $5, not $100?” Lee pressed. “Not $1,274.94?”

    “We have never been paid!” she yelled back.

    However, a quick search of the Federal Elections Commission’s data base of Trump campaign expenditures shows that this is absolutely not true, as the Trump campaign paid Diamond and Silk exactly $1,274.94 for “field consulting” work.

    Later in the hearing, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) cornered Hardaway by pointing out that FEC records clearly show that she was paid by the Trump campaign. He also asked her if she was aware that she could now be open to perjury charges by lying to Congress.

    Rochelle Richardson, a.k.a., “Silk,” accused Jeffries of buying into “fake news,” despite the fact that he was reading directly from the Trump campaign’s own FEC filing.

    Richardson then claimed that the Trump campaign had made a “mistake” in listing them as field consultants, while claiming that the campaign had simply reimbursed them for travel expenses incurred while campaigning for Trump.

    Jeffries then asked the women about the ways they’ve used their support for Trump to make money for themselves — and Hardaway absolutely blew up at him.

    “You as an African American are not going to make us feel guilty for… monetizing our platform!” she shouted.

    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    I condemn lying to Congress.

    What was the point of the hearings? Aside from the obvious, Diamond and Silk must be destroyed for the "crime" of being conservative while black.

    So it was a reimbursement, not a payment.



    Leftists used to hang republican Blacks from trees. And they're pissed they can't get away with that anymore.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Did they? But why were they testifying before Congress in the first place?

    I watched the whole video....they were GREAT....especially with Jackson Lee....



    You think those bullshit threats scared the black ladies....I don't think so....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    I love that -- "monetizing our platform." Maybe they think of the payment(s) as "alternative income"?
