Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery faced endless mockery on social media after she shared a Friday anecdote in which she complained a flight attendant wished her and others a “blessed” evening after a safe flight to San Francisco.
Those who piled on to Jeffery included everyone from far-right activists to CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski to Frank Luntz.
The scorn was near-universal and saw the far-left editor attempt to defend her position numerous times before her anecdote went viral online and she eventually stopped responding.
Jeffery took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to write:
Creeping Christian nationalism alert: @AlaskaAir flight attendant just wished us a “blessed” night as we landed in SFO (!) to groans. Other adjectives that would have sufficed: great, awesome, fabulous, amazing, fantastic…
As my rowmate said, “this ain’t Montgomery, sweetie.”

In just over 12 hours, Jeffery’s post racked up more than 4.1 million impressions and plenty of backlash. Here is a small sampling of the responses:
