Fired Pediatrician Posts Controversial Remarks on Texas Floods

A pediatrician has been dismissed after posting a highly inappropriate message regarding the recent devastating floods in Texas. The now-deleted social media post claimed that over 80 flood victims, including many children, were supporters of former President Trump who deserved their fate.

Dr. Christina B. Propst, using an old Facebook account under the name Chris Tina, made a post saying, “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters, and pets be safe and dry,” which garnered widespread criticism.
