You know Virginia Democrats are truly imploding when they're trying to go this route with Jen Kiggans. During a recent interview, the host said they wanted Hakeem Jeffries to keep his cotton-pickin' hands off Virginia elections.
Kiggans said, yes.
Now, Kiggans was clearly agreeing with the sentiment that Jeffries needs to mind his own damn business and focus on his own damn district.
BUT, since their gerrymandered maps got thrown out, Democrats are desperate to unseat her, so they're pretending Kiggans somehow agreed with the so-called racist sentiment behind the saying. Yup, we rolled our eyes as well.
Keep in mind, these are the sort of people who call 'being on time' racist.
Anywho, here's the clip and the first bit of outrage:
"Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia."

"Yes to that."
WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has "cotton-picking" hands. #VA02 pic.twitter.com/UloPFg3uoZ
WOW. What a nothingburger.
Told you, it's both stupid and desperate.
But that hasn't stopped stupid and desperate Democrats like Jessica Tarlov from clutching their pearls and doing their best to make a big deal out of nothing.
I know folks were really excited to be able to say ‘retard’ again, but would hope ‘cotton picking’ hands about a Black man is a bridge too far. Modern day GOP. https://t.co/RKRXPpNapE

You know, we really should send this broad a thank-you card and some cookies because when it comes to content, she is the idiot gift that keeps on giving.
It's a rural southern expression, not necessarily associated with black slavery. Lots of white people have picked cotton.

Retard.
Typically, we do not include posts with the r-word because this editor doesn't like it. That being said, to each their own ... not to mention, this works with what Tarlove posted.
It’s a common Southern idiom for “meddling” or “dirty hands” - stop race baiting you twat.

Oooh, we know what that means.
I would hope a guy having a Nazi death squad tattoo would be a bridge too far for the left, yet here we are.

Hey man, Graham was going through some things and stuff. EL OH EL.
The left is so desperate to keep racism a thing they're now parsing out common phrases LMAO.

It's pathetic, and luckily, it only works on the mouth-breathers who plan to vote for Democrats anyway.
