Diamond and Silk Yelled At a Bunch of Members of Congress Under Oath

My son and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's son attend middle school together. Sheila had fun with these two idiots https://slate.com/technology/2018/04/diamond-and-silk-testified-before-congress-yelled-a-bunch.html

Lee began her questioning by asking whether the pundits have ever been paid by the Trump campaign, which Diamond denied five times under oath. However, FEC records show that the campaign paid them $1,274.94 for “field consulting.”

following — basically alt-right types use “Diamond” and “Silk” to promote the fallacious idea that African-Americans support Trump (and I think for more sinister reasons).

They also appeared at Trump rallies in 2016. They also, apparently, were pretending their support for Trump was organic and not paid for by Trump and co.
