By now you've seen the horrific images out of Texas showing the utter devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey. The impact is ongoing and thousands of people were rescued over the weekend as their homes filled with water.
One University of Tampa sociology professor thinks Texans deserve the devastation and explained why on Sunday as the worst of the storm continued to bear down on Houston.
"
I don't believe in instant Karma but this kind of feels like it for Texas. Hopefully this will help them realize GOP doesn't care about them," Professor Ken Storey tweeted and then deleted. "
Those who voted for him [Trump] here deserve it as well."
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has screenshots.
For the record Houston, the city taking the brunt of the storm with catastrophic flooding, is
overwhelmingly Democratic.
I'll end this post with this:
Comment: Storey has since been
fired. Swift karma?
University spokesman Eric Cardenas said in a statement that Kenneth Storey was fired after the school weathered an outpouring of online outrage over the comments.
Officials said other faculty in the sociology department would take over Storey's classes.
"We condemn the comments and the sentiment behind them, and understand the pain this irresponsible act has caused," the school said in a statement to The University of Tampa community. "As Floridians, we are well aware of the destruction and suffering associated with tropical weather. Our thoughts and prayers are with all impacted by Hurricane Harvey."

After the tweet started to make waves on social media, the professor tweeted Monday afternoon: "I deeply regret a statement I posted yesterday. I never meant to wish ill will upon any group. I hope all affected by Harvey recover quickly."
