Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 269,373 views on Tuesday, 10 January 2023 our article of the day is Diamond and Silk.
Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway and Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway Richardson, known as Diamond and Silk, were a pair of American conservative political commentators and vloggers. The two were prominently known for their support of Donald Trump, and served as contributors for conservative news channel Newsmax.
The duo received media attention during the 2016 presidential campaign of Trump and again in April 2018 when Facebook notified them they were "unsafe to the community." In response, they publicly complained that Facebook blocked and censored their Facebook page. On April 26, 2018, at Rep. Steve King's invitation, they testified in front of Congress about their removal from the community. Subsequently, Republican members of Congress brought up the two women's censorship claims at Mark Zuckerberg's testimony before U. S. Congress. In April 2020, the two were terminated from Fox News for questioning the legitimacy of COVID-19 data. On January 9, 2023, Hardaway (aka Diamond) died at her home in North Carolina at the age of 51.
