Modern Minstrel Act: Diamond & Silk on "Fox and Friends."

WARNING: you might lose several IQ points watching their drivel.

Oliver Willis has a point here, calling them the Step n' Fetchit of the Trump Era. There's really no other reason to have these mental midgets anywhere near a "news" channel. It's shameful, but their response to the Green New Deal is pathetically hilarious. And the hosts nod their heads like they're actually taking these two bubbleheads seriously. It's so goddamned offensive.

They do not have the knowledge to speak authoritatively on a whole host of issues. They are no different than Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro or a long list of others on the right.

However, part of me thinks they are deliberately conning the biggest grifters and dumb fucks in this country because some on the right are so desperate not to appear racist thus D&S are taking advantage of the situation for their own profit.

It's been a bit of a dry spell and they don't have quite enough for a book like Omarosa, yet.

Net effect on public opinion... Zero. Unless, the Democrats keep talking about them.
