Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson have come a long way.
The one-time Democrats began making YouTube videos in support of Donald Trump just a couple months ago, and how they’re center stage in his final appeal to Iowa voters.
The pair, making up the “Stump for Trump” duo, appeared with Trump at his veterans event in Des Moines.
“To all of the veterans and wounded warriors, we say thank you,” Hardaway said. “Thank you for your service. Thank you for your dedication and thank you for standing up for us and fighting the fight us. We appreciate that.”
She said, “This (event) is not about politics. This is about common sense and we have Donald J. Trump standing up for our veterans and our wounded warriors.
“You know we had a president who ran on ‘hope and change.’ But our veterans don’t have any hope and and some of our veterans don’t even have enough change to buy a loaf of bread,” Hardaway said to wild cheers. “That’s a problem!”
The more talkative half of Diamond and Silk said, “Then along came Donald J. Trump and he said, ‘I am going to change some things.’ Our veterans need to be taken care of. And baby, that’s why you should stump for Trump.
“You should vote for Trump because he has you in mind.”
Hardaway then urged veterans groups to accept the money Trump is raising on their behalf.
“When someone wants to donate to your organization so that you can take care of veterans, accept the money.”
Diamond and Silk have made several appearances with Trump and on his behalf.
The duo wowed a capacity crowd for Donald Trump in Biloxi, Mississippi earlier this month.

Promoting themes of unity and togetherness, Hardaway riled up the crowd that WKRG reported was 14,000.
“In this room is unity,” Hardaway said. “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!”
