French magazine Charlie Hebdo mocks Harvey victims as neo-Nazis

August 31, 2017 23:51

On its newest cover, controversial French magazine Charlie Hebdo appears to mock Texans, depicting them as neo-Nazis caught in the deluge of tropical storm Harvey.

The magazines cover reads God Exists! He Drowned All the Neo-Nazis of Texas. The words accompany an illustration showing swastika flags and arms raised in a Nazi salute -- all submerged in water.

The cover has sparked criticism on social media.

The weekly magazine is known to cause controversy with its cartoons, which often create a backlash against the magazine including a terrorist attack in 2015 in which two gunmen opened fire on the publications staff in their Paris offices for mocking an Islamic State leader.
