Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson — the duo who host “The Viewers View” — didn’t think much of the lone protester who sought to disrupt Donald Trump’s Alabama rally Sunday.
“So I’m a little pissed off today. I’m beyond pissed, I’m mad as hell,” Hardaway said in the duo’s latest video.
“So (Sunday), Donald Trump was at a rally and you had one little lone protester like the lone wolf go and stand up and I don’t know what the heck he was shouting, but they had to escort his behind out of the rally,” Hardaway said.
“So now they’ve got it all over the news that a Black Lives Matter movement protester was roughed up as they got him out of the building.
“Now, here’s my deal. When you bring your behind to a Donald Trump rally, you sit your behind down, you shut up and you listen. Had you sat there and listened, you would have learned that this man is looking out for you. This man wants to bring a job back for you where you can thrive again in this country.”
She added, “I don’t know if he was shouting ‘Black Lives Matter’ or what, but what he should have done is — if you think that your life matters just that much, why weren’t you out there in Chicago with (the boy) in that alley trying to find his killers, letting him know that his black life matters?”
Hardaway was referring to 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee, who was killed in early November.
CNN reported police suspect the boy was killed over his father’s alleged “relationship with a member of a gang.”
Hardaway continued, “Or how about shouting that in your own neighborhood, because I’m quite sure a crime took place while you were at that rally. You should have been there protesting that your black life matters there.
“Or how about going to that White House, standing in front of that White House and shouting Black Lives Matter to our black president who seems unconcerned about you?
“So when you come to a Donald Trump rally, don’t get it twisted, baby. You sit down and you shut up and you take notice and you listen, okay, because at his rally, it’s all lives matter!”
Hardaway and Richardson — who also go by Diamond and Silk — shot to Internet stardom when they gave an impassioned defense of Trump after the first Republican presidential debate.
