Famed Trump activist and political personality Lynette Hardaway passed away on Monday night at her home in North Carolina.
Hardaway, known as ‘Diamond’ to friends, family and fans, was one half of the dynamic, Trump-loving duo ‘Diamond & Silk.’ She and sister Rochelle Richardson rose to fame during Trump’s historic 2016 run by going public with their support for him. The spectacle of two Black women supporting the Republican candidate drove the women to great success online and on the campaign trail.
No official cause of death has been released as of the time of this story, but Hardaway had been hospitalized for complications from COVID over the Thanksgiving holiday, and some have speculated she never fully recovered after returning home.
