Morphology
fuckwitted + remark
The noun 'remark' is transparent, but the modifier 'fuckwitted' is a creative vulgar compound: it combines a taboo intensifier ('fuck') with 'witted' (relating to wit/intelligence). A B1 learner who knows the constituents may infer an insulting meaning like 'very foolish', but 'witted' is somewhat archaic/rare and the formation is non-standard, so the exact sense is only partly predictable.
Etymology
Fuckwitted remark may come from joining the rude word fuck with witted, which comes from 'wit' meaning 'clever'. The image is of someone with no 'wit' whose words are very 'stupid', so the phrase describes a very crude or 'foolish' comment.
