Mother Jones Editor-In-Chief Wonders If Native Americans Are Offended By The Name ‘Tomahawk Missiles’
PolitiFact Forced To Pull Rating Of John Kerry’s ‘Mostly True’ Claim On Chemical Weapons In Syria
April 8, 2017President Trump Defends His Actions Against Assad In Letter To Congress
April 8, 2017Congrats, liberals. You’ve topped yourselves.
A few days ago, President Trump approved a strike on a Syrian airbase in response to Assad’s recent chemical attack. Plenty of valid questions follow, but Clara Jeffery, the Editor-in-Chief of Mother Jones, has all the insight.
That the missiles are callled tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans

Don’t worry. I did a double take too. Assad’s gassing children, and this woman is concerned over how everyone feeeeeeeeeels about the name “Tomahawk missiles.” FOR REAL. As if we’re mocking Native Americans by naming something completely awesome after them.
Only those looking for a reason to be pissed off. It's tribute not mockery. https://t.co/wYAk08PMWN

That’s what Jeffery believes is on every Native American’s mind. Screw the fact that a brutal regime is murdering children. Forget the fact that the United States is trying to deter the use of deadly chemical weapons. Are Native Americans triggered by the name “Tomahawk missiles”? That’s the REAL question.
How demeaning and offensive is that to Native Americans? Does she really believe they’re that petty, self-absorbed and vapid? Quick! Someone call Elizabeth Warren and ask her how she feels about this injustice! I’m sure she has some valuable insight!

@ClaraJeffery Also how many "Native Americans" live in your suburban gated community?

@ClaraJeffery In part, this kind of nonsense is why you folks lost in Nov.

@ClaraJeffery Did you talk to ANY Native Americans before this tweet? Second question, do you know ANY Native Americans?

@ClaraJeffery Are you for real?

Slightly off topic, but this tweet gives me hives.
@ClaraJeffery My 4 year old told me she wants to join the #Resistance

*shudders*
Anyway, there you have it. Some progressives want people to be offended by the name of a missile. Meanwhile, we’re trying to prevent Assad from murdering more innocent people.
