Excerpt:

This week, Townhall covered how a pediatrician was fired after she posted a comment on social media claiming that supporters of President Donald Trump who died in the Texas floods got “what they voted for.”

Dr. Christina B. Propst, a Houston-based doctor, wrote on Facebook, “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,” she added.

To be clear: this is a doctor who works with children. There are many children who died in these floods after they were swept away in their cabins at a Christian summer camp. Many others are unaccounted for.

Now, Propst said she is taking “full responsibility” for what she said. Sort of.

In a statement shared by KPRC, Propst claimed that she made the comment “before we knew that so many precious lives were lost to the terrible tragedy in Central Texas.”

“I understand my comment caused immense pain to those suffering indescribable grief and for that I am truly sorry. I would like to make clear that my regrettable comment was in no way a response to the tragic loss of human life. But the words written were mine and regardless of how they are being presented, that is a fact that I deeply regret,” she continued, before attacking how her comment was construed.
