The French magazine, Charlie Hebdo, has a cover praising God for sending a hurricane to Texas, and depicting victims of the flooding there as Nazis.
Here is the cover:
Charlie Hebdo Mag
Translation: "God exists. He drowned all Texas Neo-Nazis"
It's like dems peddling "all GOP are Nazis" myth is reckless? pic.twitter.com/T596SjnlfV

The caption “Dieu Existe! Il A Noye Tous Les Neo Nazis Du Texas!” translates as “God Exists! He Drowned All Neo Nazis of Texas!
The magazine previously hit headlines in 2015, after its HQ in Paris was attacked by Islamic extremists following the publication of images depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
The artist who drew the latest cover, Laurent “Riss” Sourisseau, was injured in the attack.
The magazine was also recently criticized for publishing a magazine cover depicting the victims of the Barcelona attack, with a caption ‘Islam, religion of peace’

This failing rag would have already disappeared many years ago without the French gvt's subsidies. Stupidly offensive &, worse, not funny.

Yes, but is it really a loss to drown from all the tears of the french as they surrender… I just don't know.

Let's see how they like it when they're begging to be saved from Islam in 30 years time.

While not going as far as the French magazine, some leftist publications in the US have been slammed for publishing cartoons negatively depicting victims in Texas:

While the media seems intent on promoting disunity, images out of Texas show the complete opposite to be true.
Some have responded with their own cartoons to put the record straight:
