Diamond and Silk suggest COVID-19 is a Tuskegee-like conspiracy

Diamond and Silk, the African-American women who have gained dubious fame as rabid Donald Trump supporters, believe that it’s time for the quarantine to be over and want everyone out of the house now.

The duo tweeted Wednesday that social distancing has run its course. The government advises that people stay inside their homes to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus and stay six feet apart while in public. Though they are not government officials nor infections disease specialists, Diamond and Silk weighed in on the crisis.

“The only way we can become immune to the environment; we must be out in the environment. Quarantining people inside of their houses for extended periods will make people sick!” they tweeted. (The tweet has since been removed by Twitter, for violating its terms of content.)

They also thought Black people were being set up to become guinea pigs.

“Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have made it clear that COVID-19 severely impacts African Americans. If they think they are about to make Black people the Guinea pigs for their vaccines experiments, they have another thing coming. This reminds us of the Tuskegee experiment all over again!”
Social media didn’t have the time for it and let their feelings be known.

Could you maybe content yourselves with being talentless hacks who have made a career of failing upward, and maybe draw the line at not encouraging people to get killed?

Since FOX has fired them, I hope their time in the limelight is over permanently.
