A Houston pediatrician, Dr. Christina Propst, thought she could dance on the graves of flood victims—innocent men, women, and children, including Christian campers—by spewing venomous bile on social media, blaming Trump supporters for their own deaths in a Texas deluge that claimed over 119 lives, with at least 160 people still missing.

Propst was terminated from Blue Fish Pediatrics after posting a now-deleted Facebook comment that sparked national outrage.

In the post, made under her former username "Chris Tina," Propst suggested that flood victims in Kerr County, Texas, were Trump supporters who "got what they voted for" due to their alleged support for policies that she claimed weakened FEMA and denied climate change.

The devastating floods, which struck over the Fourth of July weekend, killed at least 118 people, including 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp near Hunt.

Over 160 individuals remain missing, and the death toll is expected to rise.

Propst’s post, which read, "May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters, and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts," drew immediate condemnation.

Blue Fish Pediatrics first suspended Propst and later announced her termination, stating, "We do 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."

On July 8, 2025, Propst issued a public apology, claiming she made the comment before knowing the extent of the loss of life and expressing deep regret for her words.

She attributed her statement to frustration over inadequate disaster preparedness and funding, insisting that her politics have never influenced her medical practice.

Propst also asked that her former employer not face harassment, emphasizing their dedication to pediatric care.

In her apology letter, she expressed profound remorse, saying she takes full responsibility for her comment and that it caused immense pain to those grieving.

She clarified that her post was not a response to the tragic loss of life, which she claims she was unaware of at the time, and emphasized her commitment to children’s well-being as a pediatrician.

Here is her full letter:

I speak to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a human being who is deeply sorry. I take full responsibility for a social media comment I made before we knew that so many precious lives were lost to the terrible tragedy in Central Texas. I understand my comment caused immense pain to those suffering indescribable grief and for that I am truly sorry. I would like to make clear that my regrettable comment was in no way a response to the tragic loss of human life. But the words written were mine and regardless of how they are being presented, that is a fact that I deeply regret.

I want to apologize to each and every individual suffering through terrible loss in this difficult time. As news of heartbreaking fatalities became clear I immediately removed my thoughtless comment, as it does not reflect the depth of my compassion or the respect I have for each and every human life. Unfortunately, my online comment is now being shared with the false impression that I made it after the devastating loss of life was known. I did not. But again, the comment was mine and mine alone. Even in these divisive times, some things are and should remain sacred. Human life is sacred. The well-being of children is sacred.

Politics and party affiliation should never affect the judgment or actions of any medical provider and have never affected mine. Anyone who has sat in my office, cried on my shoulder in moments of loss, afforded me the privilege of helping their child grow, or trusted me with their child’s life knows that I am tirelessly committed to children’s medical care and would never be so callous as to make such a remark about lives cut so terribly short. I did not choose my words with the sensitivity the moment required, or with any awareness of the heartbreaking loss that would later become clear to all of us.

My comment came from a place of frustration —born of my belief that our communities, first responders, healthcare system, early-warning systems and disaster infrastructure need more and better support and funding to help prevent and respond to tragedies such as this. But my poor choice of words has been perceived as a response to this tragedy, and for that I am deeply sorry. I respectfully ask that no responsibility or harassment be directed toward my former employer. They are kind, hard-working, dedicated pediatricians who had no role in this whatsoever.

Perhaps my biggest regret is that my words are now serving as a distraction from our shared responsibility to heal the pain and suffering of those whose lives have been forever changed by unspeakable loss, and to take every step to ensure such a disaster never occurs again. One thing on which we can all agree: The heart of every Texan breaks for each and every family shattered by this tragedy. I pray that those who are suffering find peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead and commit myself to helping the entire community heal and recover. Moving forward, I will do my very best to listen, learn, grow and serve my community as I have always done. Because that is really who I am.

With deep regret, Christina Propst, MD July 8, 2025

Dr. Propst thought she could sling mud at good, hardworking Americans—Trump supporters, no less—and wish death upon them while hiding behind her stethoscope.

This is the face of the woke elite, folks—heartless, divisive, and now groveling after the American people called her out. But now her career is now in ashes

Meanwhile, Blue Fish Pediatrics, Propst’s former employer, is working to distance itself from the controversy, reaffirming its commitment to compassionate care.

Blue Fish Pediatrics was unequivocal in their response. In a statement, they made it clear that they stand against any remarks that politicize tragedy or lack compassion, underscoring their mission to serve all families with dignity.

They confirmed Propst’s termination, signaling a swift and decisive action in response to the public outcry.

Dr. Propst’s apology and termination have not quelled the public’s anger, with many questioning whether her regret is genuine or a response to the backlash.

As this story continues to unfold, the focus remains on the devastating loss of life in Kerr County and the ongoing search for the missing.

Over 160 people are still believed to be missing in Texas after the flash floods took the lives over more than 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott said Tuesday.

Fourteen campers and two teenage counselors in the Bubble Inn bunkhouse of Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp, were killed or lost.

Linnie McCown, an 8-year-old camper is among those missing from Bubble Inn when the waters receded.
