The End of an Error at Fox News. (But Grate News for the Coronavirus
Task Force!)

Fox News has cut ties with MAGA vlogging superstars Diamond & Silk, who
had contributed original content to the network’s streaming service Fox
Nation since shortly after its late 2018 launch.

The sudden split comes after the Trump-boosting siblings have come under
fire for promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation about the
coronavirus. “After what they’ve said and tweeted you won’t be seeing
them on Fox Nation or Fox News anytime soon,” a source with knowledge of
the matter told The Daily Beast.
-----
But on the up-side, Trump can get rid of Fauci now that he has his
replacements waiting in the wings!
-----
Diamond & Silk have used their heavy social-media presence to be at the
forefront of right-wing misinformation about the COVID-19 outbreak. For
instance, during their March 30 livestream, the duo claimed that the
number of American coronavirus deaths has been inflated to make Trump
look bad.

“What I need to know is how many people have passed away in New York,
and what I need to know is: Who has the bodies?” Diamond asked. “I need
for somebody that does investigative work to call the morgues. To call
the funeral homes. We need to know, because I don't trust anything else
that comes out of his mouth now... Something's not right here. Something
is off here.”

She added: “Is this being deliberately spread? Look, I’m not being a
conspiracy theorist, this is real, but I’m asking my own questions. What
the hell is going on?"

Silk, meanwhile, baselessly asserted that the disease was “man-made” and
“engineered,” wondering aloud if there was a “little deep-state action
going on behind the scenes.” She also questioned whether the World
Health Organization had a “switch” to “turn this virus on and off?”

A day after Diamond and Silk’s last Fox Nation episode was posted
online, Twitter removed a post from the pro-Trump sisters calling for
people to expose themselves to the virus that has now killed more than
55,000 Americans. “The only way we can become immune to the environment;
we must be out in the environment,” the since-deleted tweet read.
“Quarantining people inside of their houses for extended periods will
make people sick!”

They followed up that deleted tweet with an April 10 live stream that
featured the pair pushing even more unhinged conspiracies and dangerous
commentary, such as saying they’ll refuse to take any coronavirus
vaccine that tech giant Bill Gates was involved in because he’s pushing
for “population control.”

“Kudos if you make your vaccines for people and you want to help
people,” Diamond exclaimed. “But I have a problem receiving any vaccine
from any entity, especially anybody like Bill Gates who pushed for
population control. The same thing that Margaret Sanger pushed for.”

“Abortions! Genocide!” Silk shouted in response.

During the same broadcast, they also openly wondered whether 5G
technology was being used to infect people with coronavirus in an effort
to fill “empty” hospitals, suggesting that the “deep state snakes” were
building towers in certain areas to “turn things on and off to make sure
that certain things go down so those hospital beds can be filled?”
Conspiracy theories linking coronavirus and 5G have gained more momentum
lately in fringe far-right media.

Trumpo has responded: "But I love Diamond & Silk, and so do millions of
people!"
(Yes... presumably the 'disinfectant injector' crowd...)

So, their claim is that Bill Gates is an Aschen agent?

They've been watching too much SyFy.

OK, who is forging on-topic articles from FPP again?

Every American should want President Trump and his administration to
handle the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who
seem eager to see the president fail and to call every administration
misstep a fiasco risk letting their partisanship blind them to the
demands not only of civic responsibility but of basic decency.

A broken wrapped URL of something unrelated to Tom Nivel isn't proof of
anything but your gullibility, kook. Redundantly, since your barfing out
random QAnonisms and Trump conspiracy theories had already long since
established that.

One of those Q-Anonisms is finally about ready to bear fruit in a big
fucking way. Since you hang on every post I make and every word I say,
I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Everything takes a lot
longer than predicted, but time is a force to be reckoned with, and you
can't run from it forever. Stay tuned for General Flynn's Revenge, and a
big fat bucket of conspiracy charges against... I'm gonna guess at least
eight Deep State seditionists, all acting in concert with O'Bummer
himself. I had hoped it would be a done deal before the election, but it
looks like there's going to be a convergence of many odious and corrupt
incidents that will soon stink up everything connected to your Socialist
Party, and Trump will have another four years to torment you.

No, that's what you and your Sister Sock said about the Mueller
investigation for over two fucking years, and where did THAT get you?

It's in the news, KooKturD... Comey, Strzok and half a dozen others have
been exposed Bigly by the just-released hand-written memo they fought
tooth and nail to block, where they discussed how to trick General Flynn
into a perjury trap. This was even reported in CNN, FFS:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/politics/flynn-note-fbi-
interview/index.html

"What's our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can
prosecute him or get him fired?"
