Here’s What Politico Thinks of Texas Storm Victims

In an unbelievably classless move, Politco tweeted out the latest political cartoon from illustrator Matt Wuerker that actually mocked Texas victims of Hurricane Harvey, portraying them as Confederate sympathizers who want to secede from the United States.
In addition, the Politico cartoonist thought it appropriate to deride people’s faith as well, with a man dressed in a Confederate flag t-shirt being rescued from his rooftop and declaring: “Angels! Sent by God!” A Coast Guard pilot was shown correcting him: “Er, actually Coast Guard...sent by the government.”
Update: Politico has deleted the tweet, but the offensive cartoon remains posted to its website. For his part, Wuerker has taken to Twitter in a desperate attempt to excuse his insensitive depiction of the deadly natural disaster. "Just trying to point out times like this we're lucky to have rescue services. Don't see how this takes away from private individuals heroism," he feebly explained. Moments later, he claimed: "Respectfully -- it's making fun of the Secessionist movement. Not at all aimed at all Texans."

Why is it ok for California to talk about secession but not anyone else?

They're so petty even people dying in a natural disaster doesn't register higher than the smug moral outrage
If anyone doesn't think they wouldn't round people up and kill them for the "wrong" beliefs....you aren't paying attention.

OK, whatever.
Fedgov does 1 thing it should with your taxes and 10 things it shouldn't, so guess which one the MSM chooses to focus on.

They should draw a cartoon of hood arse black people being hauled up on helicopters by a rope made of EBT cards.

The left loves them some fallous arguments with logic holes bigger than the pussy hats they wear.

These people are mentally ill. This is their first thought when they see people losing their homes? And they claim to be compassionate?

Using services you have currently paid for in full means if you were a stand alone entity you wouldn't have them.
Lib logic.

We hate them too, so frick 'em

There must be something wrong with me.
I can't get charged up by any of this stuff right now.
It's like drinking an incredibly watered-down drink, hoping for the buzz that never comes.
If all of these political brainiacs could witness first-hand what we're seeing our families and friends experience, they'd be weeping, rather than taking jabs at folks and arguing/blaming.
Maybe in a few weeks or months I'll fire off an email to Politico.
Right now I'll just pity 'em.

Politico is racist.
Nawlins chocolate city Katrina victims were racially profiled by W. They were portrayed as three time victims, Societal, Katrina, and W. White victims were ignored.
But now these are portrayed as Southern white Texans. Obviously they are five time deplorable suppressors, racist against both blacks and illegals, small government advocates that don't want to "share" their good "fortunes", environmental rapists who despoil and promote carbon emissions, clingers to God and guns, and the largest Trump supporting state! Black and Latino victims are being ignored.
Hell, those deplorable SOBs are lucky that the MSM hasn't sent the antifa-navy there to club them like baby seals! Death to all Deplorables!

Sooner rather than later we are going to have to crush people like that, because if given a chance they will end us.
What do I mean by crush? When they commit acts of brutality and civil disobedience give them what Professor Bike Lock got. That will do more to end this than anything.

It's in incredibly poor taste.
It's also addressing the idea, prevalent on the right, that "we don't need the Feds".
Cajun Navy, locals, and yes, the federal government, helped to save many lives.
Not a cartoon I would have printed, but one I would have chuckled at before dismissing it.

I don't find anything about it funny. Artist is an a-hole.
