Houston pediatrician Dr Christina B Propst has been fired for her vile post suggesting that all those who have been killed in the Texas flood, including children, deserved what they got as they were all Trump voters. “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” the pediatrician wrote specifying non-MAGA in her now-deleted message. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change,” she added.“May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts,” she wrote. Propst’s employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, initially said the employee had been suspended, before announcing that “the individual is no longer employed” there.“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,” the company said.The flash flooding on the Guadalupe River in central Texas has killed at least 80 people, with 11 girls and one counselor from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp, still missing. The camp said in its statement: “Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly.”The Guadalupe River rose over 20 feet in less than two hours during the July 4 flood.
Texas pediatrician fired for this post on flood.
Before the storms, the weather service issued a broad flood watch for parts of south-central Texas, including Kerr County, specifying the possibility of rainfall totals up to 3 inches and isolated amounts of 5 to 7 inches. But for some areas, the actual totals far exceeded those projections. Texas officials blamed the weather service for forecasts Wednesday that underestimated the amount of rain that was coming. Former weather service officials have said that the forecasts were as good as could be expected, given the way the storms escalated and the remarkable levels of rainfall. Some experts questioned whether staffing shortages at the weather service also made it harder for the forecasting agency to coordinate with local emergency managers as floodwaters rose.
