Clara Jeffrey, editor-in-chief of the progressive journal Mom Jones, posted a grievance on X twitter Friday evening that an Alaska Airways flight attendant wished passengers a “blessed evening” upon arrival in San Francisco.
Jeffrey, 57, posted, “Creeping Christian nationalism alert: @AlaskaAir flight attendant simply wished us a “blessed” evening as we landed in SFO (!) to groans. Different adjectives that may have sufficed: nice, superior, fabulous, superb, improbable…As my rowmate mentioned, “this ain’t Montgomery, sweetie.””

Jeffrey clapped again at a commenter who mentioned, “Respectfully, I’m a reasonably left leaning man and I want people a blessed day pretty typically. It’s only a good factor to say”. Jeffrey snapped, “Eh. It’s a matter of respect for the viewers earlier than you. Respecting their house and norms and desires. Dominant cultures at all times really feel they’ve a proper to implement their norms and intents. And…approach off @AlaskaAir’s model.”

Jeffrey responded to a different commenter by saying the flight attended was not a ‘individual of colour.’

Jeffrey later commented on her critics, “The factor about being dragged by rw “alphas” is that they’re all so so so dumb.”

Mom Jones reader David O’Brien slammed Jeffey, saying, “As a longtime @MotherJones reader, this tweet from its EIC is embarrassing. At their finest, MJ does a number of the finest investigative reporting on the market; at their worst, they arrive throughout because the archetypal smug liberals wanting down their noses on the vulgarity of the decrease lessons…Talking as a left-wing atheist, “have a blessed day” is a wonderfully innocuous factor to say! There’s nothing remotely proselytizing about it. If you happen to assume this represents “creeping Christian nationalism,” could I counsel going exterior extra? Speaking to some folks??”
