During the Season 42 premiere of Saturday Night Live last weekend, comedian Michael Che referred to President Donald Trump as a cheap cracker for his apparent refusal to send aid to Puerto Rico. On Sunday, MSNBC AM Joy host Joy Reid was forced to check former congressman Joe Walsh for equating Che’s use of “cracker with the use of “n**ger.”
While “cracker” is considered a racially derogatory term, it lacks the abhorrent and gut-wrenching history behind “n**ger.”
Which is why the sharp-witted political commentator had zero patience for Walsh’s eagerness to reverse the scenario on his Twitter page less than 24 hours after the SNL sketch.
Check out the exchange below:
He calls Trump a "cheap cracker." On national TV.
Would a comedian still have a job if he called Obama a "nigger?" https://t.co/g6d2FZ9h1X

You’ve been DYING to say it, haven’t you, Joe. You probably say it on your own all the time. Well your hood is off now. We see you. https://t.co/AXrR7X7r3L

.@WalshFreedom now run along and find the character to take care of your children, who hopefully will find better influences than you.
