"SNIP....
At a Saturday rally for Floridas Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, President Trumps top agriculture official called the states 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 dont mess it up. DeSantis campaign declined to comment on Perdues remarks to Politico, but said it was happy he was on the campaign. Trumps former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, also used the term while talking to a black guest on Fox News this year. Youre out of your cotton-pickin' mind, Bossie said. DeSantis opponent, Andrew Gillum, has previously been a target of racist comments and campaignsincluding DeSantis telling voters not to monkey up the election.

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
