The pediatrician who claimed the Texas flood victims were Trump supporters who got “what they voted for” has issued a groveling apology after being canceled and fired.

Dr. Christina B. Propst said she is taking “full responsibility” for her now-viral post — while blaming it in part on her not knowing that “so many precious lives were lost to the terrible tragedy” that killed more than 100 people, including dozens of kids.

“I speak to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a human being who is deeply sorry,” the Houston-based children’s doc wrote in a statement shared by KPRC.

“I understand my comment caused immense pain to those suffering indescribable grief and for that I am truly sorry.”

While insisting she wrote her post before knowing anyone had died, she acknowledged: “The words written were mine and regardless of how they are being presented, that is a fact that I deeply regret.

“I want to apologize to each and every individual suffering through terrible loss in this difficult time.”Blaming the backlash on her post “being shared with the false impression that I made it after the devastating loss of life was known,” she again conceded: “The comment was mine and mine alone.”

Propst sparked widespread outrage from the since-deleted post, posted under her old Facebook username, Chris Tina.

“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA,” she had written.

“They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

Propst’s employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, announced she was “no longer employed” in a statement on Monday after she was initially suspended.

“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,” the medical provider said.

Propst said in her apology that politics have never impacted her judgment or actions as a medical provider, adding that she is “tirelessly committed to children’s medical care and would never be so callous as to make such a remark about lives cut so terribly short.”

She said her harsh words came from “a place of frustration” from her belief that better support is needed to prepare and respond to disasters like last weekend’s floods.

More than 160 people are still missing in the wake of the devastating floods, and at least 118 have died — with that number expected to rise, officials said.
