Pediatrician’s OUTRAGEOUS Rant Shocks Nation

When a pediatrician’s social media post about flood victims ignited a firestorm, the fallout exposed just how unhinged and divided our national discourse has become—and left many Americans wondering if common decency and professional standards are relics of the past.

At a Glance

• A Houston pediatrician was fired after mocking conservative Texas flood victims on social media.
• The post, which went viral, wished safety only for “non-MAGA” children and pets, sparking national outrage.
• Her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, condemned the politicization of tragedy and terminated her employment.
• The Texas Medical Board is now investigating her professional conduct, with possible license ramifications.

Doctor’s Post Turns Disaster Into Political Spectacle

In early July, as families in Kerr County, Texas, reeled from devastating flash floods that claimed at least 70 lives—many of them children—a Houston pediatrician decided it was the perfect opportunity to lob a self-righteous grenade on Facebook. Dr. Christina B. Propst, entrusted with the care of children, posted: “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.” Imagine the arrogance it takes to turn a deadly tragedy into a smug lecture on voting habits. Her post was quickly screenshotted and blasted out by Libs of TikTok, who tagged her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, on social media platforms. Within hours, outrage exploded as Americans of all stripes grappled with the idea of a pediatrician gleefully wishing harm on children and families simply for their political beliefs.

Blue Fish Pediatrics initially responded by placing Dr. Propst on administrative leave and releasing a statement condemning the politicization of tragedy. That wasn’t enough to quell the storm. Public pressure mounted, with calls for the doctor’s termination echoing across the internet. Ultimately, Blue Fish Pediatrics confirmed Dr. Propst’s firing, emphasizing that her comments did not reflect the values of the practice and reassuring families that they remained committed to the care and well-being of their patients, regardless of politics. Meanwhile, the Texas Medical Board announced an investigation into Dr. Propst’s conduct. Now, her entire medical career hangs in the balance because she couldn’t resist scoring cheap political points during a disaster.

Professional Accountability Meets Woke Virtue Signaling

The Propst incident is a prime example of what happens when professionals—especially those entrusted with the vulnerable—forget their responsibilities and instead indulge in divisive, virtue-signaling rhetoric. Let’s be clear: Americans expect doctors to show compassion and neutrality, especially in times of crisis. When a pediatrician publicly celebrates suffering based on the victims’ voting record, she betrays not only her oath but the trust of every parent and child who walks through her door. It’s not just about free speech; it’s about the ethical responsibility of those in positions of authority. The Texas Medical Board’s investigation will scrutinize whether Dr. Propst’s conduct crossed the line from personal opinion to professional misconduct, and many believe that losing her license would be only fitting. If you’re willing to politicize the suffering of children, maybe you don’t belong in pediatrics—or any field that requires empathy and judgment.

This isn’t the first time a so-called “professional” has been caught spewing hateful nonsense on social media. But the sheer callousness displayed here is a new low, especially as families in Kerr County grieve and rebuild. Predictably, the usual crowd rushed to defend her right to “free speech,” ignoring the plain fact that freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences—especially when your words reveal a dangerous bias against those you’re supposed to serve. The idea that doctors, teachers, or anyone in a position of trust can say whatever they want about patients or students and hide behind the First Amendment is as absurd as it is dangerous.

When Outrage Is Justified—And What Comes Next

This controversy has broader implications for the medical community and beyond. Healthcare organizations are now re-evaluating their social media policies, and medical boards are under pressure to clarify standards for online conduct. In the age of viral outrage, one ill-advised post can end a career, shatter public trust, and traumatize already suffering communities. The families of Kerr County deserve better than to become the butt of a political joke after losing their loved ones. Patients of Blue Fish Pediatrics, too, have every right to question whether their doctor’s political agenda trumps their Hippocratic Oath. And the rest of us are left to wonder: how much longer will this country tolerate professionals who put politics above people? Is it any wonder that trust in institutions is at an all-time low? Maybe, just maybe, if more organizations had the backbone to hold their employees accountable, we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place. For now, all eyes are on the Texas Medical Board, and frustrated Americans are left hoping that basic decency—and common sense—prevails for once.
