"SNIP....

At a Saturday rally for Florida’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, President Trump’s top agriculture official called the state’s election “so cotton-pickin' important,” Politico reports. “Public policy matters. Leadership matters,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue reportedly said at a Saturday Lakeland rally. “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.” DeSantis’ campaign declined to comment on Perdue’s remarks to Politico, but said it was “happy” he was on the campaign. Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, also used the term while talking to a black guest on Fox News this year. “You’re out of your cotton-pickin' mind,” Bossie said. DeSantis’ opponent, Andrew Gillum, has previously been a target of racist comments and campaigns—including DeSantis telling voters not to “monkey” up the election.

He chose not to use his other phrase.

3. Oprah said it best...if anyone here has an ancester who could not vote...

and fails to vote in this election...they are shaming their family...or something to that effect. She said it better, but it's so true as a megaphone to the black voter. She's probably the only one who could get away with saying that. They have the power to swing this election against the bigots who have the megaphone at present.

I'm going to take this racist, xenophobic statement as a call to arms … for those it offends...as it should. Now, go do something about it !!!! Vote...and take 2 or 3 with you.
