May they get what they voted for: who is Dr. Christina Propst, the pediatrician who mocked Texas flood victims; claims they voted for Trump

Dr. Christina B. Propst, a Houston-based pediatrician, was terminated from her position after a Facebook post she wrote about the deadly Texas floods sparked widespread outrage.

Why was this Texas pediatrician fired?

Dr. Propst’s career ended abruptly after a post she made under the name “Chris Tina” went viral. In it, she appeared to mock the victims of the deadly Texas floods in Kerr County, insinuating that the majority Republican-voting population had received “what they voted for.”

The message, widely condemned as cruel and politicized, prompted massive backlash online and was amplified by conservative social media accounts.

“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Probst wrote in the now-viral post

“Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

Her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, first suspended her before ultimately terminating her employment, stating that her comments did not reflect the values of the practice.
