[16] They initiated a "Ditch and Switch" campaign to encourage Democrats to register as Republicans[17] and created a website explaining to voters which states had closed primaries and when the deadlines were for changing party affiliations.

[24] A documentary film by Hardaway and Richardson titled Dummycrats premiered in October 2018 at the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.[25] In May 2019, during a Fox & Friends appearance, Diamond and Silk claimed that then Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi was a "non-functioning alcoholic" who "slurs her words."

[27] Beginning in March 2020, Hardaway and Richardson questioned various information about COVID-19 including whether or not the number of deaths from the pandemic was being inflated to make Donald Trump look incompetent.

[9][28] Following the controversial Unite the Right rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11 and 12, 2017, Hardaway and Richardson, appearing on Fox & Friends, were critical of protesters on both sides in the event.

Hardaway criticized Neo-Nazi groups and the Ku Klux Klan for "spewing hate and ... creating violence" declaring "all of them should be condemned and denounced.

[30] Hardaway and Richardson, in December 2017, expressed support for Omarosa Manigault Newman following her controversial firing as White House liaison and assistant, faulting the treatment of her by African Americans and the media generally: "What I find appalling, to my brothers and sisters [is] how you ... can laugh at, pick at, gloat at somebody because they either left the White House or you listened to a salacious story that Miss Piggy went around, running around telling everybody."

In the same live-stream, they criticized Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts for saying, "Bye, Felicia" to Newman during a segment on the ABC show which aired on December 14, 2017.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries suggested that they could be committing perjury and showed them a U.S. Federal Election Commission filing which reported that the Trump campaign paid them $1,275 (~$1,619 in 2023) on November 22, 2016, for "field consulting".

Following their testimony, The Huffington Post reported that, according to Trump campaign treasurer Bradley Crate, the payment had been categorized incorrectly.

[36][37][38] When Diamond and Silk were asked what they thought of King retweeting white supremacists, Hardaway responded, "I'm tired of you all playing the race card.

The pair stated that they believed that they had been victims of censorship by Facebook after receiving a communication from the social media website's policy team.

Both women stated they had started questioning Facebook via phone calls, emails, and chat sessions as to their alleged "bias censorship and discrimination against D&S brand page" in September 2017.

[42] According to CNN, their claims likely influenced an April 2018 congressional hearing which involved Mark Zuckerberg after the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

[43] Tennessee Republican Representative Marsha Blackburn finished her questioning of Zuckerberg by stating, "Let me tell you something right now, Diamond and Silk is not terrorism".

Texas Republican Representative Joe Barton asked Zuckerberg, "Why is Facebook censoring conservative bloggers such as Diamond and Silk?"

[42][5][4][3] Facebook's own analytics firm showed that the Diamond and Silk page had not lost a significant amount of influence on the social network.

[47][46] After leaving the Fox News platform, the duo had a Saturday afternoon show on Newsmax TV titled Diamond and Silk Crystal Clear.

[50][51] Richardson took to Twitter afterwards to condemn public figures who were suggesting Hardaway died from COVID, and threatened to sue if they did not retract their statements.

[54] However, a death certificate obtained by the Associated Press states that she died from heart disease linked to chronic high blood pressure.
