<p>POLITICO is being criticized for publishing a tone-deaf cartoon mocking the religious faith and political views of Houston residents in the aftermath of the flooding. The cartoon, drawn by artist Matt Wuerker, depicts a family sitting on the top of a house amid rising floodwaters on the verge of being rescued by a helicopter. One of the people calls the helicopter an "angel, sent by God," to which the rescuer then sneers that he's in the Coast Guard and sent by the government.</p><p>POLITICO shared the cartoon in a since-deleted tweet:</p><figure><img src="https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/hv/images/2017/242/8b394543-2444-4d66-ab45-0ed1a1468017.png" class="fr-fil fr-dib"></figure><p>The cartoon remains on their site.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">FWIW -- while the Politico deleted the cartoon link on twitter, it's still up on the site ????????<a href="https://t.co/FxkKtDAxBF">https://t.co/FxkKtDAxBF</a></p>— Al Weaver (@alweaver22) <a href="https://twitter.com/alweaver22/status/902955883910619136">August 30, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p><em>Oooooh</em>, don't cut yourself on that edge there, POLITICO.

Now is not the time. Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent flooding didn't discriminate based off of religion, political views, or skin color. Further, a person's political views, religion, or skin color don't make someone any more or less worthy of being rescued from a flood, by either a private boat driven by the Cajun Navy or by the U.S. Coast Guard.
