Just saying...I’m a 7th Generation Floridian, and “cracker” is not a derrogative term to a native Floridian. Lawton Chiles often referred to himself as a “cracker,” as do many Florida natives. Here’s a little history on the term.

I have to admit I wasn’t really focused on the cracker comment. I just thought it was funny that Clintoon says he’s taking off for the Jewish holidays.
