Lynnette Hardway and Rochelle Richardson of North Carolina, whose support of Mr. Trump and no-nonsense delivery during the 2016 U.S. presidential season turned them into online sensations, said Thursday their YouTube videos have become casualties of the company’s attempt to silence “extremism.”
“@YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped over 95% percent of our videos from being monetized, stating: ‘It’s Not Suitable For All Advertisers,’” the two said in a series of tweets. “Wonder if @YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped the monetization of our videos because we are loyal supporters of the @POTUS. Hummmm. Sounds like Censorship to us, which is a Violation of our First Amendment. A Bias Method used to Silence our Conservative Voices. @YouTube, how was it OK to monetize our videos for the past two years and now those same videos are no longer eligible for monetization?”
The popular duo, who were also paid $1,275 for “field consulting” work by the Trump campaign, boast 89,000 subscribers on YouTube and another 361,000 on Twitter.
Have these ladies gone too far?

I laugh every time I hear people quote the first amendment and claim that their constitutional free speech rights have been violated in regards to their interactions with a private business.

Indeed. Instead they need to point out the contract they made with YouTube regarding what is displayed on YouTube and how they pay you....oh wait? A contract? What is that?
Its like saying that Facebook is violating something or another where in reality, its a free tool and they can do whatever they want.

I like them. My favorite part about them is that they don't feel ge need to support he candidaes and policies the media feels they should support based in their gender and race. Diamond and Silk have decided that based on their experiences they can't believe the way the media wants them to. I respect that. As a female who USED to be a registered democrat before the party went bat shit crazy I can definitely understand it. Now I am registered independent.
