Of Course Diamond And Silk Are Peddling Viral Disinformation
Lying for Trump is their business model.
Diamond and Silk are more interested in grifting from gullible white people than in telling truth that might save lives.
Here they are promoting the lie told often on Fox in the past two months, that the pandemic is being inflated by mainstream media to hurt Donald Trump.
They don't believe the numbers because numbers don't grow that way. (Diamond and Silk don't understand the term, "exponentially.") Transcript via Media Matters:

SILK: For the first person to die. Here's another thing --
DIAMOND: Come on.
SILK: Here's another thing. My president said on March the 24th, Tuesday this past week, my president said that he would love for America to be back up and running.
DIAMOND: I knew this was going to happen. I knew after he said this this was going to happen. Go ahead.
SILK: At the time he said it there was 25,489 cases with 307 deaths. Instantaneously, you had the media calling President Trump out, he wanted open by Easter, he want this open by Easter - me and you was talking, I said now watch the number of deaths go up --
DIAMOND: Right.
SILK: Watch everything increase because they wanted to make it look bad in front of our eyes.
