<p class="marker-quote1">"God exists! He drowned all the neo-Nazis of&nbsp;Texas," reads the picture's caption. The caption seems to&nbsp;be a reference to&nbsp;Texas' support for&nbsp;US President Donald Trump, who won 52.6 percent of&nbsp;the state's vote during&nbsp;the 2016 general election. Houston, however, is a liberal stronghold&nbsp;&mdash; 54 percent of&nbsp;Harris County, which houses Houston, voted for&nbsp;Hillary Clinton.<div class="b-inject m-inject-min"><div class="b-inject__media"><img src="https://cdn4.img.sputniknews.com/images/104860/32/1048603295.jpg" width="705" height="375" alt="Hurricane" title="Hurricane" class=""></div><div class="b-inject__copy"><span>

<p>It also seems to&nbsp;be a reference to&nbsp;the white supremacist and neo-Nazi rally that turned deadly in&nbsp;Charlottesville, Virginia&nbsp;&mdash; 1,300 miles from&nbsp;Houston, Texas. There is no evidence that anyone killed by&nbsp;Hurricane Harvey was a neo-Nazi.</p>
<p>Hurricane Harvey has already killed 35 people that we know of, displacing tens of&nbsp;thousands and causing billions of&nbsp;dollars in&nbsp;damages. The White House today said 100,000 homes had been affected by&nbsp;the storm, and has asked Congress to&nbsp;unlock emergency funds for&nbsp;the affected areas. It seems well on&nbsp;its way to&nbsp;becoming the most devastating storm since&nbsp;Hurricane Katrina in&nbsp;2005, and may well exceed it in&nbsp;terms of&nbsp;economic disruption.</p>

<p>Charlie Hebdo is most famous for&nbsp;a 2015 incident in&nbsp;which two Al Qaeda associated Islamic militants gunned down&nbsp;12 people in&nbsp;the magazine's Paris headquarters. The attack was revenge for&nbsp;satirical cartoons in&nbsp;the magazine depicting the Prophet Muhammad, which is strictly forbidden in&nbsp;many branches of&nbsp;Islam.<div class="b-inject m-inject-min"><div class="b-inject__media"><img src="https://cdn3.img.sputniknews.com/images/105694/98/1056949854.jpg" width="705" height="375" alt="A rescue boat evacuates people from the rising waters of Buffalo Bayou following Hurricane Harvey in a neighborhood west of Houston, Texas, U.S., August 30, 2017" title="A rescue boat evacuates people from the rising waters of Buffalo Bayou following Hurricane Harvey in a neighborhood west of Houston, Texas, U.S., August 30, 2017" class=""></div><div class="b-inject__copy"><span>

<p>Since the incident, that drew international attention and support for&nbsp;the magazine's right to&nbsp;publish whatever they wanted, Charlie Hebdo have also mocked the Judeo-Christian God; the October 2015 crash of&nbsp;Metrojet Flight 9268, which killed 224 people, almost all of&nbsp;them Russians; and the August 2016 earthquakes in&nbsp;Italy that killed 299 people.</p>
<p class="marker-quote1">They weren't the only outlet to&nbsp;see the devastation and wonder how they could improve their journalistic brand by&nbsp;mocking the people whose lives were destroyed. American outlet Politico posted a cartoon of&nbsp;a stereotypical Texan hillbilly with&nbsp;a confederate flag shirt, "SECEDE" banner, and "Don't Tread On Me" flag being airlifted away from&nbsp;his submerged home. "Angels!" the cowboy proclaims. "Sent by&nbsp;God!"</p>
<p>"Er, actually Coast Guard &hellip; sent by&nbsp;the government," replies one of&nbsp;the rescuers.</p>

<p>Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Matt Wuerker, who drew the strip, issued a statement about&nbsp;his artwork. "As a political cartoonist, I try to&nbsp;get people to&nbsp;think &ndash; to&nbsp;consider the ironies and subtleties of&nbsp;the world we live in. This cartoon went with&nbsp;an extreme example of&nbsp;anti-government types &ndash; Texas Secessionists &ndash; benefiting from&nbsp;the heroism of&nbsp;federal government rescuers," Wuerker wrote.</p>
<p class="marker-quote1">"It of&nbsp;course was not aimed at&nbsp;Texans in&nbsp;general, any more than&nbsp;a cartoon about&nbsp;extremists marching in&nbsp;Charlottesville could be construed as&nbsp;a poke at&nbsp;all Virginians. My heart is with&nbsp;all the victims of&nbsp;Hurricane Harvey's destruction," he added, "and those risking their lives to&nbsp;save others.'</p></div><div class="b-banner m-banner-33 m-mb20 m-mt10"><!--В head сайта один раз подключите библиотеку-->
