A Houston pediatrician was fired after making controversial social media comments about victims of the recent Texas Hill Country floods.

Blue Fish Pediatrics terminated Dr. Christina Propst following widespread criticism of her Facebook post about Kerr County residents who voted for President Donald Trump last year. Propst has since deleted the viral comment.

Propst wrote, “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry.” She added that “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for.”

The devastating July 4 floods caused widespread damage throughout Texas‘ Hill Country, especially in the Kerrville region. In Kerr County, rescuers continue to search for missing campers and a counselor from Camp Mystic after more than two dozen girls and counselors at the camp died. Across the state, at least 105 people have died from the flooding.

Propst’s former employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, responded Sunday to the viral comment with a statement distancing itself from the doctor.

“This past weekend, we were made aware of a social media comment from one of our physicians. The individual is no longer employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics,” the Houston-based medical provider wrote. “That post does not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics. 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.”

The provider added, “We continue to extend our full support to the families and the surrounding communities who are grieving, recovering, and searching for hope.”
