Their choice of career may not have been the best one for them. As the state struggles with a tragedy that has claimed 79 lives, including 28 children, a Texas pediatrician has been suspended for wishing harm on flood victims who were MAGA voters. There have been at least 79 fatalities from the devastating Texas floods, including 28 children, and many more are still unaccounted for. The post was denounced by Blue Fish Pediatrics, which said it “does not reflect the values, standards, or mission” of their practice.
Doctor’s Controversial Comments During Tragedy
As devastating floods swept through central Texas, Dr. Christina B. Propst, a pediatrician affiliated with Blue Fish Pediatrics, posted inflammatory comments on social media targeting conservative voters in the affected areas. The now-deleted post specifically singled out MAGA supporters in Kerr County, one of the areas hardest hit by the disaster, suggesting they deserved the consequences of the flooding due to their political choices.
The post quickly went viral after being shared on X (formerly Twitter), particularly after being amplified by the Libs of TikTok account. Screenshots of her comments spread rapidly across social media platforms, triggering intense backlash from users who viewed the remarks as callous during a time of immense suffering. Dr. Propst’s profile has since been removed from both Blue Fish Pediatrics and Memorial Hermann websites.

Swift Professional Consequences
In response to the controversy, Blue Fish Pediatrics issued a comprehensive statement distancing themselves from Dr. Propst’s comments and announcing her immediate placement on administrative leave. The practice emphasized their commitment to serving all patients regardless of political affiliation or background and expressed solidarity with those affected by the flooding.
“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.” – Dr. Christina B. Propst
Memorial Hermann, a health system with which Dr. Propst had a professional affiliation, also released a statement clarifying that she is not their employee and condemning her comments. The Texas Medical Board has not announced a formal investigation but indicated that any complaints would be thoroughly investigated according to their standard procedures.
She has NO business being around ANYONE's child.

Devastating Flood Impact Continues
The controversy unfolds against the backdrop of a catastrophic natural disaster. At least 79 people, including 28 children, have lost their lives in the flash floods that swept through central Texas. Kerr County alone has reported 68 fatalities. Search and rescue operations continue as numerous people remain missing, including 10 girls and a counselor from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp.
Over 400 first responders from more than 20 agencies are involved in rescue operations, with more than 850 people already rescued in Kerr County. President Trump has signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a “day of prayer” and promised to be “relentless in going after and assuring that we locate every single person who’s been a victim of this flooding event.”
The National Weather Service continues to warn of additional flash flood threats in the affected areas, with additional flood watches issued for San Antonio and surrounding regions. Questions have been raised about why summer camps, including Camp Mystic, were not evacuated sooner, and criticism has been directed at the NWS for not predicting the full extent of the rainfall despite issuing alerts.
