Wuerker defended his cartoon, saying it skewered secessionists and those who disparage the federal government writ large while taking its services for granted.
"As a political cartoonist, I try to get people to think - to consider the ironies and subtleties of the world we live in," Wuerker said in an email to Business Insider.
Well there's where the cartoonist went wrong. Expecting righty dumb-asses to grasp 'ironies and subtleties', not to mention recognize their hypocritical complaints about 'big gubmnet', until they need it, clearly overestimated the intellectual capacities of some in his audience, and of one particularly 'challenged' poster here. LOL!
"This cartoon went with an extreme example of anti-government types - Texas secessionists - benefitting from the heroism of federal government rescuers," Wuerker continued.
"It of course was not aimed at Texans in general, any more than a cartoon about extremists marching in Charlottesville could be construed as a poke at all Virginians. My heart is with all the victims of Hurricane Harvey's destruction and those risking their lives to save others."
Get it NOW, snowflake?
