Beto O’Rourke’s presidential campaign is polling at between one and three percent depending on which poll you subscribe to, so he’s obviously decided that going full irony is the only way to boost those numbers:
There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone or any institution or organization in America that denies the full human rights, and the full civil rights, of everyone in America.

And there’s another unintended element in O’Rourke’s tweet:
So you’re defunding Planned Parenthood? Wow. Did NOT see that coming!

He’s so helpful!
So what you’re saying is, the government shouldn’t give money to Planned Parenthood. I agree.
