Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known by their stage name Diamond and Silk, are an American duo mainly active as video bloggers and YouTube personalities. Hardaway and her co-host Richardson are former Democrats. 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 came to wider prominence in 2015 as supporters of Presidential candidate Donald Trump after posting a video criticizing former Fox News host Megyn Kelly for asking what they considered 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. 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.
On November 2, 2016, Diamond and Silk appeared with Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on behalf of the Trump campaign.
They have also created a "ditch and switch" website explaining to voters which states have closed primaries and when the deadlines are for changing party affiliations.
