Houston pediatrician fired after saying Trump-supporting Kerr County flood victims ‘got what they voted for’

Her post, shared first by Libs of TikTok, comes after flash floods devastated Central Texas, specifically Kerr County. The death toll has continued to rise, and dozens of children have been killed. President Donald Trump has signed a major disaster declaration as more rains are expected, and search and rescue efforts continue.

Blue Fish Pediatrics first suspended Propst before saying that she was "no longer employed" with their practice. "As we previously mentioned in our original statement, 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," they said.

"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," said Blue Fish Pediatrics.

The post was shared by Sherif Zaafran, president of the Texas Medical Board. "Thank you for alerting us to this. I was made aware of this earlier. This is the response of her employer attached on here. There is no place for politicization. The entire focus needs to be on looking for survivors. Any complaints we may receive will be thoroughly investigated," Zaafran said.

Many responded to his post encouraging Zaafran to go ahead with the investigation. His original post spoke about the tragedy, saying "My heart is filled with sadness with the news of everyone affected by the power of nature and the catastrophic floods. I pray for the safe return of all those who are still missing. I pray that they are found soon and back in the arms of their families."

Propst wasn't the only person to blame the victims for dying in a flash flood. Another post shared by Libs of TikTok claimed that "if you would have just voted for Kamala" the children and families would not have died in flash flooding."
