A Houston paediatrician and a city community leader have lost their positions after posting inflammatory comments about the flash flood that killed at least 91 people in central Texas, many of them children sleeping inside Camp Mystic cabins. The riverside girls camp near Hunt, TX, was taken out when the Guadalupe River rose eight metres in under an hour, leaving the cabin’s bunks shattered and almost all its occupants dead.Dr. Christina Propst, a 27 year veteran of Blue Fish Pediatrics, was fired. In a now deleted social media post, Propst suggested the more than 80 victims, presumed to be supporters of President Donald Trump, “got what they voted for.” .Parents complained within hours, and the clinic announced her dismissal, calling the remarks “wholly inconsistent with our mission of care.” Propst, once voted Bellaire’s best paediatrician, saw nearly three decades of work unravel in a single day..Separately, Sade Perkins, who runs the Freedmen’s Town Farmers Market and had served on Houston’s Food Insecurity Board, drew outrage after a series of TikTok videos attacking Camp Mystic as an exclusive “white only, conservative Christian camp” and “Maybe it was gods will to wash them lil cu#t$ away.”.Perkins alleged media attention would have been far less had the victims been Latino or Black. Houston Mayor John Whitmire branded the videos “deeply inappropriate,” ordered her permanent removal from the advisory board, and said she will not be reappointed to any future city role.The hateful rhetoric spread beyond Texas. .Rosie O’Donnell blamed Trump for the so-called “hundred year flood,” saying climate inaction under his presidency paved the way for tragedy. "These are the results that we're going to start to see on a daily basis,” said O’Donnell..White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said “blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie,” adding that the president and his cabinet are taking action and praying for the families..Camp Mystic, founded in 1926 and popular among several Texas political dynasties, remains closed while crews search for four girls still missing.
