“The only way we can become immune to the environment; we must be out in the environment. Quarantining people inside of their houses for extended periods will make people sick!” the pair tweeted from their official account, which boasts 1.4 million followers.

The account later appeared to be unlocked, indicating the violating tweet had been deleted. A public message appended over their post reads, "This Tweet is no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules."

Twitter recently expanded its rules against medical misinformation to include posts that contradict guidance from authoritative health agencies. The social media company in recent weeks has separately found that posts by Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani broke its rules against Covid-19 misinformation.

Diamond and Silk have repeatedly accused Twitter and other social media platforms of suppressing their content online. The pair attended a White House reception in honors of black history month, where they praised Trump for helping to make them famous and urged participants to vote Republican.

"Mr. President, there are those that write history. There’s those that read history. And I want you to know that you are making history," said Hardaway, who uses the pseudonym Diamond.
