President Trump’s Thursday airstrike on a Syrian airfield is offensive to Native Americans, Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery tweeted over the weekend.

Jeffery wrote the fact “that the missiles are callled [sic] tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans…”

That the missiles are callled tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans — Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) April 8, 2017

… which in hindsight, probably wasn’t the smartest thing to say.

@ClaraJeffery The war tomahawk was actually a British invention. — Sean Gallagher (@thepacketrat) April 8, 2017

@thepacketrat @ClaraJeffery A load of liberal revisionist bison dung, as is myth that Native Americans were peaceful people until Colonialism.https://t.co/XxocxYgiqF — Michael Liu (@spyguy8080) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery I think generally they have actual things to be enraged about — Wholesome Bare (@WallaBare) April 9, 2017

@ClaraJeffery I don’t think many Native Americans are snowflakes. — jshay9178 (@jshay9178) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery Oh my gawd I thought this was a joke… then i saw your Twitter page and realized you are actually serious. Seek help. — magan (@megdogwuff) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery I asked Elizabeth Warren. She said “how” — James O’Neil (@Jimoneil359) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery You don’t actually know any, do you? — Mike Cutler (@BetrCutlerLoose) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery This Tweet is exactly why Trump won. — 82ndVet (@82ndVet) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery Did you talk to ANY Native Americans before this tweet? Second question, do you know ANY Native Americans? — Wingo is a Jedi name (@mikepinkshoes) April 8, 2017

@ClaraJeffery Yes — just like my grandpa Tom was enraged by the Tommy guns used during prohibition. — Steak Twittee (@Knowk_Omment) April 9, 2017

@ClaraJeffery The “tomahawk missile” will now be known as “”Gender neutral Unicorn horns” — House King (@AndrewKing06) April 9, 2017

@ClaraJeffery that YET another liberal white woman feels she can appropriate voices of Native Americans and speak for them enrages me. POC speak our own — IPledgeAllegiance (@muchmoresalt) April 9, 2017

@ClaraJeffery Naming a missile after a Native American war weapon? NOT OK…Claiming to be Native American? GREAT! MAKE HER A SENATOR! #liberallogic pic.twitter.com/uGyASdlg2e — MarcG (@MarcosGarciaPMP) April 8, 2017
