Donald Trump comes off the golf course and turns to African-American vloggers Diamond and Silk to accuse Democrats of being the party of white supremacy after storm over his rhetoric
Donald Trump reposted a video of vloggers Diamond and Silk on Monday where they accused Democrats of being the party of white supremacy after several called the president a 'racist.'
The African-American duo, whose real names are Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, said they are tired of people linking Trump to white supremacy, especially following two mass shootings this month.
'You know we hear these people calling our president 'white supremacy.' But guess what? They represent the party that created white supremacy right here in the United States,' Hardaway, known as Diamond, told Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs on Friday night.
The duo of outspoken Trump supporters were responding to those who have called the president a 'white nationalist' and claimed he facilitated an environment that emboldened people to carry out violent acts.
Silk – or Rochelle Richardson – said she's tired of white people playing the race card, which echoed some language Trump used when hitting back at Democrats for claiming he was a racist for calling Baltimore a 'disgusting' and 'rodent infested' city last month.
'What's really funny is I see a lot more white people playing the race card,' she said.
'Playing the race card more than black people,' she continued. 'You know, as a black woman I know what racism do look like. But it's really funny to me to see another white man call another white man a racist when they never experienced racism. That's disgusting to me.'
