A Texas pediatrician has been placed on leave and disavowed by her employers after a viral social media post about the state’s deadly flood disaster sparked outrage and even drew the attention of the Texas Medical Board.
Dr. Christina B. Propst came under fire over a now-deleted social media post about the tragic and deadly flooding in Texas, which has left at least 79 people dead — including at least 28 children.
Among those still missing are 10 girls and one chaperone from Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp that was utterly destroyed by the flooding.
In a now-deleted post that was shared by screenshots on X, Propst, under her old Facebook username Chris Tina, wrote about the flooding and expressed apparent ill-will toward MAGA voters in affected areas, suggesting they should ‘get what they voted for.'”
“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” the original post read. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”
A screenshot was shared on X and went viral very quickly, taking off especially on Sunday after a quote retweet from the Libs of TikTok account.
Many more messages followed, both in the originating thread and from other users. Late Saturday night, Blue Fish Pediatrics issued a statement that was shared on their social media accounts, and which at this time shows up as an alert message at the top of their website. The statement was also shared by head of the Texas Medical Board Dr. Sherif Zaafran.
The statement reads:
To Our Patients and Community
At Blue Fish Pediatrics, our hearts are broken for the families impacted by the devastating flooding in our Central Texas communities near Camp Mystic. Like so many across Texas and beyond, we are grieving with those who have lost loved ones and are praying fervently for all families still awaiting news.
We are aware that a personal social media comment by one of our physicians has caused significant hurt and outrage. The content and timing of that post do not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics. We want to be clear: 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.
Our practice exists for one purpose only — to provide excellent, loving, and respectful care to all children and their families. Our patients come from every walk of life, every political belief, and every background, and we are honored to serve each of them with empathy and integrity.
In moments of crisis, we believe in unity over division, healing over judgment, and humility over rhetoric. We are taking this matter seriously, reviewing it internally, and have placed the physician on administrative leave.
In the meantime, we extend our full support to the families and the surrounding communities who are grieving, recovering, and searching for hope.
Sincerely,
Blue Fish Pediatrics Leadership Team
Propst’s profile page has been removed from both the Blue Fish Pediatrics website and the Memorial Hermann website. Memorial Hermann also posted a statement on X.
The statement reads:
We are devastated by the catastrophic floods that have occurred over the past few days across central Texas. Our hearts are heavy and broken for all those who have lost a loved one, are still searching and awaiting news, or are otherwise impacted by this disaster. We know there are many in our Houston community who are also affected.
We are aware of statements made by a physician on social media and strongly condemn these statements. This provider is not employed by Memorial Hermann. We have zero tolerance for such rhetoric which does not reflect the mission, vision or values of our System.
Our thoughts are with the many families who are affected and grieving this tragedy, as well as with the brave first responders, community organizations and volunteers who continue their search and rescue operations.
On X, the original poster under the handle “Dr. Lynn Fynn-derella” posted several more tweets in a thread on the subject, in which she tagged the doctor’s places of employment and practice. One of the screenshots indicated that the doctor had changed her username and profile image on Facebook, which other users also pointed out.
That Facebook account appears at this time to have been changed again, with previous posts deleted and the profile image changed from the upside down American flag to an image that says “Praying for Mystic” above a Bible verse and image of a cross.
However, photographs uploaded by the account and past posts on guns, her anger for President Donald Trump and his voters, and her devoted support for former Vice President Kamala Harris confirm it is the same account referenced in the tweets. Archived images and directory listings under Dr. Propst’s name further confirm the account’s identity.
The Texas Medical Board has not announced a formal investigation, but its chair publicly stated that any complaints received regarding the physician would be “thoroughly investigated.” As of this writing, the original post remains deleted, and the Facebook account continues to undergo changes.
