Leftist more upset about ‘Tomahawk’ missile name than rush to war

So much for the left being anti-war…

Rather than being upset about this rush to war by the Trump administration, Democrats, neocons and the media, many leftists are upset by the name of the missiles the United States military attacked Syria with.

Last week, the U.S. military shot at least 59 Tomahawk missiles against a Syrian air base that was reportedly responsible for the chemical gas attack. The missile strike killed a lot of innocent civilians, and the base also helped protect a Christian church in the region.

What was the left angry about? The name “Tomahawk.”

Here is what Mother Jones editor Clara Jeffery tweeted over the weekend:

“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

How does Jeffery know that the name offends Native Americans? Did she talk to Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren about this?

The name also didn’t seem to bother Jeffery when former President Barack Obama shot nearly 200 of these same missiles.

And, to be fair, the Europeans introduced the metal blade to the natives.
