Trump ally apologises for ‘cotton-picking’ comment about black strategist

He is co-author with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski of a book about the campaign, Let Trump Be Trump. Lewandowski attracted controversy this week in his own appearance on Fox, when he appeared to mock the plight of a girl with Down’s syndrome who was said to have been caught up in the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. On Saturday the two men accompanied Trump on a trip to Nevada. On Sunday, Bossie appeared Fox & Friends – the president’s favoured show – for a discussion about liberal reactions to Trump’s immigration policy. “You don’t have to be a golden retriever to hear all the dog whistles coming out of the White House these days,” he said. “You’re out of your cotton-picking mind,” Bossie retorted. “Cotton-picking mind?” said Payne. “Brother, let me tell you something: I got some relatives who picked cotton and I’m not going to sit here and allow you to attack me like that on TV.

People's 401(k)s are doing better than they were a year ago," he added. "Why should we be surprised?" The former campaign manager's statement comes after Trump tweeted Friday that the magazine told him he could possibly be "Person of the Year" for the second year in a row. "Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named 'Man (Person) of the Year,' like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. Time denied the claim from the president in a tweet. "The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year.
