Popular conservative political commentators Diamond and Silk are so close they can finish each other’s sentences. Born just 10 months apart, the sisters, Lynnette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson, had no political ambitions when they sat down together to film a video to air their opinions back in 2015. But their directness struck a chord with viewers, and they shot to fame before they even realized what was happening.
They have an interesting cast of characters to thank, as the sisters detail in their new book “Uprising,” a candid memoir that reads just the way they sound when they speak.
