This dude just made the most glaringly satirical post in history and The New York Times contacted him because they thought it was totally real

This is, quite literally, one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen in my entire life.

This jokester named Jared Rabel tweeted this out as a response to a federal judge lifting striking down the CDC’s illegal mask mandate on planes:00:30/01:31

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.

The jokes in here are hilarious. Flight attendants sneezing immediately in disregard of public health, the Jussie Smollett “MAGA country” reference, and the crying child who is super concerned about politics.

Everything necessary to make it an absolutely hilarious joke.

Unless you work for The New York Times, that is.

A literal New York Times “journalist”, Victoria Kim, messaged this guy assuming that the entire obviously fabricated story was 100% true and accurate.
