It should come as no surprise, but French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo is stirring up controversy once again.
For the most recent cover, the outlet portrays victims of Hurricane Harvey with art of neo-Nazis drowning (above) and a caption that translates to:
“God Exists! He Drowned All the Neo-Nazis of Texas.”
Obviously, this has caused a huge reaction on Twitter — with some people defending free speech while others are frustrated with the mag politicizing a natural disaster.

An evil, despicable cover. Also, the losers at Charlie Hebdo have a God-given right to publish it, & no one has the right to shoot them pic.twitter.com/isOVjkXPR0

The Charlie Hebdo cover is offensive & dumb, and I fully support their right to be as offensive & dumb as they like. https://t.co/jDFaR4darf

Remember when terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo, and the Right grieved?
This is their thanks.

Was going to go off on Charlie Hebdo for that sick Texas cover.
But then I realized that’s what they want. Fuck you. I’m not sharing it

Free speech is wonderful isn’t it, Charlie Hebdo? You have every right to publish this, and I have every right to call you a piece of shit. pic.twitter.com/USPgVx4m2l
