Last year I posted a piece where ESPN’s Stephen A Smith said: ‘For One Election, Every Black Person In America Should Vote Republican’
This year, it’s Diamond and Silk … my new BFF’s ….
Don’t ya just love when people intelligently speak their minds ….
Their Wikipedia bio:
“Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known by their stage name Diamond and Silk are an African American duo mainly active as video bloggers and YouTube personalities.
Hardaway and her co-host Richardson are former Democrats. The duo came to wider prominence in 2015 as supporters of conservative Presidential candidate Donald Trump after posting a video criticizing Fox News host Megyn Kelly for asking irrelevant questions during the first GOP candidate debate.
While they are not formally affiliated with the Trump campaign or paid by it, they have been urging other supporters of Trump to follow suit on social media and at rallies. They have also created a “ditch and switch” website explaining to voters which states are closed primaries and when the deadlines are for changing party affiliations.
They are biological sisters from North Carolina who say they stand with the silent majority, voicing their opinions about “media bias, political babble, and repetitive political tactics that they feel the average American is tired of being subjected to.”
The duo first joined Donald Trump as the Stump for Trump Girls on stage at his Raleigh, North Carolina rally on December 4, 2015. They later riled up the crowd at the Trump rally on January 2, 2016, in Biloxi, Mississippi, that attracted more than 14,000 people. At the Biloxi rally, the duo urged Democrats and independents in the audience to “ditch and switch”, i.e., to register as Republicans and vote for Donald Trump in the primary and general election.
Thanks to the Ditch and Switch Now movement started by the two North Carolina sisters, Diamond and Silk, Nearly 46,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched to Republicans since the beginning of the year. The paper says in Massachusetts, as many as 20,000 Democrats have gone from blue-to-red this year with Trump cited as a primary reason. And in Ohio, as many as 1,000 blue collar workers have promised to switch parties and vote for Trump.”
