Better than the last time I saw that played.  The loser got to spend quality time with Zed and The Gimp.

Whether the phrase is actually racist or not no longer matters. Bossie has ceded the battlefield.


David Bossie apologizes for 'cotton-picking mind' comment to black panelist

"During a heated segment on Fox & Friends today, I should have chosen my words more carefully and never used the offensive phrase that I did," Bossie wrote on Twitter. "I apologize to Joel Payne, Fox News and its viewers."

The origin is not racist nor a reference to slavery.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/cotton-picking.html

From your link: "The expression 'out of your cotton-picking mind' is no longer deemed an acceptable description of a black person in the USA. In April 2018 a white commentator (Brian Davis) said in a broadcast commentary of a basketball game that a black player (Russell Westbrook) was 'out of his cotton-picking mind'. The perceived racist connotations caused an uproar of protest. Davis, while claiming that the remark was unintentional, apologised, describing the comment as insensitive and a lapse of judgement. Davis was suspended from his position with the broadcaster."

So this had just happened recently; did it receive much press here?

Well he was out of his watermelon, fried chicken, greens eating mind then.
@Wingnut
How about "Are you out of whore pimping mind", that would at least have been a more modern reference. Or perhaps something in connection with welfare?

I know.  The race card is best played on 100 year old facts and words.
