That is bullcrap. Whether they really like Donald Trump or just supported him for fame and attention, what about their actions or behavior during the campaign indicate that Diamond and Silk are white supremacists? How can a black person be a white supremacist? I guess maybe if they hate themselves?

There are black people who support Donald Trump, and some liberals just can't seem to accept that. Build a bridge and get over it.

"Reimbursement" implies a work or business relationship. People who have no such relationship would not be reimbursed for expenses incurred. What you have just done is prove the opposite of what you claim.

Meh. reimbursed vs paid. Im not exactly up in arms about this, nor should anyone else be. What nonsense.

I'm far more concerned that this is something thats worth the time of our congress.

Since you want facts, keep in mind that being wrong and lying are two different things. They'll have to be able to prove they knew the information they provided was wrong.

So, we'll have to ask you to respond with facts as to how you can prove they lied vs. were wrong.

No. That is not a 'leftist' position. That is YOUR position; you stated it; you own it.

Again, let's discuss lying under oath and stop the ugly racism.

And of course Clinton lied under oath. Jeebus.
As I recall, THIS thread is about Diamond and Silk. There are literally hundreds of threads on here about Clinton lying under oath.

Try to stay on topic.

Anyone trying to apply logic to anything coming from Maxine Waters is in for a migraine.

Oh come on.

They became popular, so the Trump campaign asked them to attend rallies, and reimbursed their expenses.

That is not the same as "we are hiring you to create videos to promote our candidate."

Really? I don't follow Maxine (or anyone) on Twitter. Got examples because I would like to see exactly what she said.

No, but he effectively paid for them to come and appear at his rallies. That is a business arrangement. Split hairs all you want, but they were compensated for appearing. There is no getting around that.

Me either. But I do note the picture of the tweet doesn't have the blue checkmark by her name - like we see on the real account?

It's actually a parody account if you click on her name. Not the real thing and it even says so
