Roseanne defends pro-Trump Diamond and Silk after Facebook censoring
Fox News ^ | 11 April 2018 | Katherine Lam

Roseanne Barr on Wednesday defended Diamond and Silk and said Facebook should “stop censoring” the pro-Trump supporters after the duo’s videos were classified as “unsafe to the community” on the social platform.

“Diamond and Silk are comedians-stop censoring them!” Barr tweeted.

The demand from the actress-comedian — who returned to Twitter following the successful “Roseanne” reboot — came after Lynnette "Diamond" Hardaway and Rochelle "Silk" Richardson appeared on “Fox & Friends” and said their videos were deemed “unsafe to the community” by Facebook’s public policy team.

The left fears out spoken conservatives like Diamond and Silk. I thank Roseanne for her coming to their defense.

I first noticed Roseanne’s change of heart on O’Reilly years ago. She’s a different person. I suppose leaving Hollywood and going into self-employment can do that.

I was proud of Ted Cruz for confronting Zuckyboy about the censorship of Diamond & Silk, but Zuckyboy STILL has not satisfactorily addressed the rapid and widespread CENSORING OF CONSERVATISM throughout social media..

It's clear the Deep State's goal is to completely CENSOR THE TRUTH, especially ahead of the 2018 midterms. They learned from 2016 that Team Hillary's, Team Obama's and the Deep State media's LIES could not overcome TRUMP'S COMMENTS and THE TRUTH which had not YET been fully ERASED FROM THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

Facebook and Twitter are now mass media common carriers and should no longer be treated as private enterprises where the owners can DISCRIMINATE when they so choose.

MZ admitted, during the kabuki hearings today, that FB made ‘an enforcement error’ in shutting down D&S’s FB account.

He also said that FB reps have reached out to D&S to rectify.

D&S were on Laura Ingraham’s Fox show, a little while ago....and DENY that ANYONE from FakeButt has attempted to contact them.

I guess MZ didn’t lie under oath, since his testimony is not under oath :(

“MZ admitted, during the kabuki hearings today, that FB made ‘an enforcement error’”

And how many other such errors have been made?

I was wondering about that. She sure isn’t the person she was 30 years ago or so. Too bad it doesn’t happen more often.

I think Diamond and Silk are smart, sweet and enjoyable to listen to.

While the ladies in question are funny, they are not comedians. They’re a legitimate political voice.

They sure make me laugh, but their analysis of the issues of our day are quite serious and all-encompassing. So...they are not mere comedians. Hence why facebook is discriminating against them. 😡

Hopefully something even better is awaiting them around the corner so they can have an even better outlet and reach more people.

And earn something too! 📹🎬📽📺💰

My mom was very similar to her just few years ago and then Obama completely put her on the Trump train.

Yes I was thinking the same thing and wondered if Roseanne was being flippant by calling them comedians.

D&S are our best spokes peeps. People who normally wouldn’t listen to a conservative message will tune into these ladies. Hopefully some will be red pilled and bring more folks to our side. When everyone realizes that we are for ALL Americans things will change for the better.

George Carlin, especially an older George Carlin, was filled with hate and cynicism more so than these two ladies ever were.

I wonder if Facebook has ever considered taking any George Carlin diatribes and monologues off of Facebook as well?

I listen to George Carlin occasionally and some of the things he said are quite true, but Diamond and Silk speak a lot of truth as well yet they are punished.

I wonder if Facebook is yet another racist Democrat organization?

Many of the controversial entertainers of yore would be better champions of liberty than the jokers representing us today.
