A New York Times journalist appeared to take a Twitter user's satirical message about flight attendants yelling "MAGA" seriously after the lifting of mask mandates on Monday.
"I boarded a plane today with my son and mid flight, the pilot announces that the mask mandate is over. Flight attendants pulled off their masks and sneezed directly into their hands while screaming ‘this is MAGA airspace.’ My son turned to me in tears. I don’t know what to do," Jared Rabel's tweet read, which he said was "satire."
According to Rabel, New York Times reporter Victoria Kim sent him a direct message on Twitter and asked if he would be willing to "talk about what happened" on his flight.
"Hi Jared, I'm a New York Times journalist, I'd love to speak to you over the phone about what happened on your flight this evening," Kim wrote.
"For those asking, this is 100% legit. I’m as surprised as you," Rabel told his followers. He tweeted a screenshot of the reporter's message.
"I was pretty upset about the whole thing. Unfortunately, this is satire and only somebody at the New York Times would believe," Rabel told the reporter via direct message.

someone commenting on someone else’s twitter post.

Same here on FR. If it is tweeted and repeated it is gospel.
Start screaming on Reddit about how you were triggered by all the people who were ignoring your right to be a selfish ass.
It seems to work for all the Woke.
Lol 🤣

Is it any wonder she's an immature Gen-Z'er?
