Yes, you're probably right.

Yes, you're probably right. Unfortunately, the fact that they're such obvious fools just intensifies the already stereotypical view that most Republicans seem to have of black women and gives them the chance to use them no matter how they're perceived ... as outspoken women who are bravely defending their love for Trump or as simply crazy, over-the-top ladies who exemplify black folks but just happen to really like Trump.

I don't think that's what it's about in this case. They use them because they're black. They don't take them seriously because Diamond and Silk are fools that don't deserve to be taken seriously.

You are correct, they are

I doubt it. They might use them as cover for their racism or to pretend their conservative ideology cares about minorities or the poor. But I don't think they really take them seriously.

I saw that, too. But in the end, I see few taking them seriously, mostly see through their shtick as comedy routine looking out for #1 playing troll, crying controversy and riling for eventual profit. And that the Congressional GOP made themselves look like fools for trying to take advantage of their claim that Facebook et. al. is censoring pro-Trump voices, when in reality all they did is give them more face time and brand recognition. And I think most political people see that. Because the gals do the classic troll thing, that's their shtick. Taking money from anybody would also be their shtick. Not a hell of a lot of ideology there if you've tried to check them out, all just trolling Trump, they don't really give many reasons for supporting him.

Diamond and Silk accepted money to do an ad for a white supremacist running for Paul Ryan’s abandoned seat.
