This has sent Politico’s uber-pasty white Matt Dixon into apoplexy on behalf of black people who most likely use the phrase themselves if they live in the South rather than screaming F bombs at people
At DeSantis rally, Perdue says Florida governor’s race ‘so cotton-pickin’ important’
During a Saturday rally for Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, President Donald Trump’s top agriculture official used the term “cotton-pickin’†to describe the importance of Florida’s gubernatorial race, which also features Democrat Andrew Gillum, who is running to be Florida’s first black governor.
“Public policy matters. Leadership matters,†said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said at a Lakeland rally, according to audio provided by American Bridge. “And that is why this election is so cotton-pickin’ important to the state of Florida. I hope you all don’t mess it up.â€
Perdue is a former governor of Georgia. (snip)
From the start of the general election, race has played a dominating factor in Florida’s nationally-watched governor‘s race. The day after the Aug. 28 primary election, on a different Fox show, DeSantis called Gillum “articulate†and said voters shouldn’t “monkey this up†by electing him. Like Bossie, DeSantis was rebuked on air by a Fox News personality, but the former three-term congressman, who is white, refused to apologize because he said he did nothing wrong and his comment was not about race.
In Liberal World, and in the Leftist media, everything is raaaaacist. But, sometimes a phrase is just a phrase, and some people use them rather than blurting out curse words. These big liberal city elitists need to get out of their comfort zone and talk to real people, rather than just staying in their bubbles. And stop taking Offense at everything. Sure, the phrase has roots in cotton picking, which involved slaves. But, not all who were involved with picking cotton were slaves. Even Bugs Bunny used to say it a lot, as did others in the cartoons.
