That’s one less opportunistic grifter who made all Black people look bad, just by mere association via skin tone:
Another Trumpist dead of (allegedly) Covid? Poetic justice if working overtime on that crew!
I will just go with my “default eulogy for unpleasant people” here:
In her brief life Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway doubtlessly exhibited several positive qualities. Sadly she passed on before the world had a chance to find out what any of them were.
Nothing good to say about her. But I’m a bit surprised, I just assumed that all the public figures pushing anti-vax, were all closeted vaccinated.
How about a more neutral toned “Thoughts and prayers to her friends and family.”
This deliberately says nothing about the contents of those thoughts and prayers.

Look, pick one title, and stick with it.
If I were a better person, I wouldn’t revel in her passing (or relishing the poetic justice), but I am not.
Instead I will raise a small glass
I’m gonna be honest here; I don’t intend to spend any more time thinking about her than I have to from here on out and I’m sure not going to pray for her family.
I had ramen for lunch.
“There is of course a fundraiser, which was announced with Hardaway’s death.”
Always be grifting; always.
Covid deniers dying off? There’s one clear answer as to why: a big conspiracy that’s bumping off truth-tellers, obviously! Or they were all secretly vaccinated and the vaccine finally did them in. One of the two. Can’t possibly be… the other thing.
It feels more than a bit unfair that the ones surviving are also terrible hypocrites…
There’s cynical grifters who are fully vaccinated while screaming about it and/or claiming otherwise, and there are true believers - and you literally can’t tell the difference. And of course being vaccinated doesn’t guarantee you won’t catch COVID or even get a severe case, it just reduces the chances.
“Entertainer” is a great catch-all name for someone who contributes nothing valuable to the world yet somehow commands an audience.
