Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson and Donald Trump were made for each other. Like their man Trump, they tell it like it is.
The duo — who go by Diamond and Silk — didn’t much like the news Thursday that Bernie Sanders supporters were attempting to sabotage Trump’s rally in Burlington, Vermont.
“We are not feeling the Bern,” Hardaway said, referencing the hashtag Sanders fans use on social media, #FeelTheBern.
“We are not supporting the Bern. So why are you at a Donald Trump rally? Don’t nobody want to walk around here feeling like they have a venereal disease.
“We don’t want to feel like we’re walking around here with herpes, with Chlamydia, with gonorrhea. Don’t nobody want to feel like that!” Hardaway said.
“We’re not feeling the Bern, you all! And you know what? Every time I think about voting The Bern, I want to choke. It makes me have heart burn.
“We don’t want to feel the Bern. Feeling the Bern will make us feel like we have a sun burn. Don’t nobody want to feel like they have a razor burn, a wind burn, a heart burn, carpet burn, rug burn — we don’t even like the burn!” she said.
“We can never, ever, ever vote for the Bern.”
“You know what?” Richardson asked. “I’m feeling hot,” she said. They both took a long drink of their beverages.
Slamming her mug down, Hardaway said, “We still ain’t votin’ for The Bern!”
The duo recently appeared with Trump in Biloxi, Mississippi.
“In this room is unity,” Hardaway said at the packed rally. “In this room we are united. This is the United States, not the divided states,” she said.
“It’s time for us all to take America back because this is our country. It’s imperative you get out and vote. If you don’t want to get left, you’ve got to get right,” Hardaway said to cheers.
“We want somebody to build a wall, don’t we? We want somebody to bring back our jobs so we can thrive again, don’t we? We want somebody that’s going to keep us safe, don’t we?”
Her biggest applause line? “There is only one race: the human race, as all of our lives matter in this room.”
She added, “We finally have a candidate that realizes that and that’s why it’s imperative you vote for Donald J. Trump!”
“Diamond & Silk were fantastic in Mississippi last night. They may like me, but I like them even more – a great night!” Trump wrote on Facebook after the event.
