Texas Pediatrician Fired After Controversial Post Mocking Flood Victims’ Political Views

A Texas pediatrician has been terminated from her position after a social media post that many have called both insensitive and shocking. Dr. Christina Propst, formerly of a Houston medical group, made a public Facebook post suggesting that victims of the recent devastating Texas floods “got what they voted for” by supporting former President Donald Trump.

The post, which has since been deleted, quickly went viral — sparking outrage from both the local community and across the country. Many expressed disbelief that a healthcare professional would speak so harshly amid a disaster that has left over 100 dead and thousands displaced.

In response to the backlash, Dr. Propst issued a public apology:
“I deeply regret my words. It was thoughtless and does not reflect the compassion I feel for all patients and families.”

Despite the apology, the medical group confirmed that she was no longer affiliated with their clinic, emphasizing that her views did not represent their values.

The incident has sparked larger discussions online about the responsibilities of professionals in public life and where personal opinions cross the line into unacceptable behavior, especially during times of crisis.
