(DC Pundit) – It takes a special kind of moral rot to celebrate the deaths of children, but that’s exactly what’s happening in the wake of devastating floods that ripped through central Texas, killing at least 48 people, including 14 young girls attending a Christian summer camp. Dozens more remain missing as rescue teams continue searching along the debris-strewn riverbanks of the Texas Hill Country.
The tragedy began Thursday as torrential rains, reportedly up to 15 inches in some areas, caused flash flooding across Kerr County. Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls summer camp, was directly in the storm’s path. Many of the missing are campers, and efforts to find survivors continued into the weekend.
While Texans grieve and families wait in agony for news of their children, some on the far-left are using this human catastrophe as an excuse for tasteless political grandstanding and outright cruelty. With absolutely zero compassion, leftist activists took to social media to mock the victims because they were Christians and lived in a red state.
One progressive gloated, “The people in Texas voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott. That is exactly what they getting.” Another sneered, “Texas deserves every flood god has spoken and it hates Texas.” A third wrote, “Cry harder. Texas deserves it.”

This isn’t political commentary, it’s depraved glee at the death of American children. Imagine the outrage if conservatives had made these kinds of vile remarks after a natural disaster in a blue state. But when Christian girls from a state that proudly voted for President Donald Trump lose their lives, suddenly, basic decency is optional.
For the families of the victims, there is no ideology that can explain this pain away. These are not political pawns. These were children, daughters, sisters, friends, who went to a summer camp and never came home. Many were still wearing swimsuits and sneakers when the wall of water came crashing through.
Camp Mystic has long been a place where young girls come to grow spiritually, build lifelong friendships, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Now it’s the site of heartbreak and national mourning.
And yet, instead of prayers, sympathy, or even respectful silence, some on the left have decided to spit on the graves of the innocent, because the way their parents voted or what they believe is “wrong.”
This kind of ideological hatred is both disturbing and dangerous. It reveals how far the radical left has drifted from any sense of humanity. If you can look at the drowning of children and see a “gotcha” moment, you’ve crossed a moral line from which there is no return.
Tragedies like this aren’t political weapons, they’re human disasters. And if we can’t mourn together when children die, then our national fabric is in far worse shape than any storm could ever leave it.
