The cover of the latest edition of satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo depicts Texans who drowned in the flood waters of Tropical Storm Harvey as Nazis, it was reported on Wednesday.
‘God Exists! He Drowned All the Neo-Nazis of Texas,’ the controversial weekly magazine writes for its cover story.
The cartoon on the front page shows a torrential downpour drowning a group of people carrying flags with the Nazi swastikas.
Some of the victims on the cover are under water as they do the Nazi salute with their arms outstretched at a 45-degree angle.
Presumably, the magazine intended to emphasize the fact that Texas voted for Donald Trump in the recent election.
Trump, of course, came under fire for not unequivocally denouncing neo-Nazis and white nationalists at a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month.
Yet the floods caused by Tropical Storm Harvey have decimated Houston, a city with a Democratic mayor which voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.
The surrounding areas of Harris County, which also voted in favor of Clinton, have also been hard-hit by the catastrophic flooding.
