BuzzFeed Politics has since deleted the tweet, but if you read it enough times, you understand that there’s nothing really wrong with it — except the phrasing. Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro wants to end adoption, and he wants to foster discrimination against LGBTQ people? Wow, he’s really breaking away from the pack with these new policies.
Here’s a screenshot:
We’re guessing, after reading it a few times ourselves, that he wants to end discrimination against LGBTQ people who want to adopt or foster a child. We’re wondering if the 34 likes are the number of people who read it that way in the first place or not.
Headline fail. https://t.co/TxGFXck54K

Watch this line show up in an opponent’s campaign ad eventually.
