A Houston-area pediatrician who sparked outrage after mocking Trump voters in the aftermath of deadly Texas flooding has been terminated from her job.
Dr. Christina B. Propst, formerly with Blue Fish Pediatrics, wrote on Facebook that she only hoped for the safety of “non-MAGA voters” as historic floods devastated central Texas, killing at least 80 people — including 28 children — and leaving multiple others missing.
“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Propst posted under the Facebook name “Chris Tina.” She then sneered at residents of Kerr County, writing: “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

The backlash was swift. Propst’s employer issued a statement condemning her comments and confirming her removal.
“She is no longer employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics,” the company said Sunday. “We strongly condemn the comments that were made in that post. That post does not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics.”
The practice emphasized that it does “not support or condone any statement that politicizes tragedy, diminishes human dignity, or fails to clearly uphold compassion for every child and family, regardless of background or beliefs.”
The flooding tragedy struck on July 4 along the Guadalupe River in central Texas. Ten girls remain missing from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp. Among the victims were sisters Blair and Brooke Harber, ages 13 and 11, who were found with rosaries in hand, “locked together,” according to family members.
Despite the non-stop efforts of first responders and local officials, some Democrats attempted to weaponize the tragedy for political purposes. Far-left Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy blamed the Trump administration, posting, “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks on public workers, like meteorologists.”
However, the facts contradict Murphy’s spin. The Associated Press reported that the National Weather Service had issued multiple flash flood warnings in the early hours of July 5 and had staffed up in anticipation of the storm’s severity.
“There were extra people in here that night,” said NWS meteorologist Jason Runyen. “You staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over.”
Despite efforts to exploit the tragedy for political gain, the overwhelming response from the public and private sector has been focused on saving lives and honoring the victims — not dividing Americans by how they vote.
