Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick sent out the following tweet mere hours after a gunman shot and killed 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida:

It was posted at exactly 7 a.m. on Sunday; an oddly bucolic image with the words of Galatians 6:7 superimposed: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

As Chron reports, the Twitterverse was quick to come down on the inhumane and wholly inappropriate tweet, which has since been deleted.

. @DanPatrick Yes, you do reap what you sow. You have sown the seeds of resignation or impeachment……. Good luck with that. — Michael Cudlitz (@Cudlitz) June 12, 2016

@DanPatrick despicable and then cowardly. — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) June 12, 2016

.@danpatrick Your actions, speaking intolerance and hatred in the face of terror and tragedy, are unconscionable. https://t.co/lEXiL1sRwW — Wendy Davis (@wendydavis) June 12, 2016
