The Babylon Bee is under fire for this satirical article mocking the freakout out over Ivermectin with the headline, “Democrats Refuse To Drink Water As It’s Also Prescribed To Horses”:

Here’s a bit of the outrage from angry libs:
This is the stupidest tweet I've ever seen and I read my own tweets sometimes https://t.co/BABXQYNK27

Making fun of liberals like me is literally the easiest thing in the world and these jackboot-licking nerds still can't figure out how to do it. https://t.co/yks7skG2xY

And in response, The Babylon Bee was forced to clarify what they meant about the joke:
A lot of people have been getting upset about this one, so we would like to clarify: the joke is that Democrats are refusing to drink water as it's also prescribed to horses. We hope this clears things up and we will do better https://t.co/Sv1H5Wt90f
