, which stated in part that "we stand together in our firm belief that prosecutors have a responsibility to refrain from using limited criminal legal system resources to criminalize personal medical decisions."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis addresses attendees during the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, on July 22, 2022, in Tampa, Fla."That is what the legislature has enacted, and it's not for him to put himself above that and say that he is not going to enforce the laws," DeSantis said about Warren. The governor named Susan Lopez, a judge he appointed to the Hillsborough County Court, to replace Warren and serve as temporary state attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit.Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren speaks during a news conference June 15, 2020, in Tampa, Fla.DeSantis said the suspension follows a statewide review of state attorneys that narrowed in on Warren's office. The governor said he did not speak with Warren throughout that process.
"It spits in the face of the voters of Hillsborough County who have twice elected me to serve them, not Ron DeSantis," he said in a statement.
Just like msm mischaracterized the parental rights bill (immediately mislabeling it 'don't say gay'), they're mischaracterizing this. Guy literally refused to do his job- uphold existing laws. Laws are changeable, but not at the whim of a single State Attorney- he's not a king.
Another trump wannabe
That Representative must be a Democrat. See Democrats believe Laws are Made to Pick and Choose which ones you Enforce and Those you Don't. It's however you Feel that day!.
Isn’t the governor of any state responsible for insuring laws are enforced? Why shouldn’t he suspend those who don’t prosecute law breakers?
Strange, since the Florida Constitution expressly gives the Governor the power to do what he did
Another flipping white male trying to control women and their path to success!
Florida people are being killed at hospitals due to the law 768.21 Florida Free Kill law. Healthcare professionals are not held responsible for malpractice,negligence or medical error. Only Florida has this law in place. Let that sink in! STOP THE floridafreekill law.
Welcome to Florida
Do your job or quit, if he won’t follow their laws he should quit
Heil DeSantis!
Republicans pushing such a hardline on abortion are pursuing a very risky path. Most voters want something far more in the middle.
It’s called doing the right thing.
But Florida people love governor who abuse power extremely.
they sould suspended desantis for playing the role of gov
So asking the prosecutor to DO HIS DAMN JOB AND ENFORCE THE LAWS is extreme abuse of power. Got it.
Ron DeSantis = Assha!
Sounds to me like he was doing his job. It is not up to prosecutors to decide which laws to enforce. If abortion is illegal in Florida then case closed. Don't like the laws, work to change them.
Fascism is having a prosecutor who decides single-handedly decides what LAWS to enforce and which he doesn’t It’s not his role to make such public statements regarding LAWS enacted he doesn’t like It’s up to the people to vote for senators that will reflect the will of the people
Under the Florida constitution, the Governor CAN suspend an elected prosecutor for several reasons. Now the Florida Senate can reinstate him or terminate him…….he’s gone.
Bravo Gov DeSantis, any prosecutor not willing to follow the LAW, should be ousted.
His constituency agree with him; laws are meant to be followed.
DeSantis is not wrong 💙💙💙✡️💜💜💜
Waiting for a journalist to write about the retirees quietly watching their state become a magnet for politicians grabbing power. Do they feel heard as they face the heat, rising housing costs, & plan for flooding/hurricanes this fall?
Wow? Anything to shadow the DNC from its 56+ year promise to federally amend abortion.
'Republicans' aren't Republicans anymore, they're fascist dictator wannabes. It used to be both parties were good people who had different ideas to get to the same goal. Not anymore.....
Prosecuting abortion is a waste of resources. Much like marijuana use/possession. There’s simply too much “bigger fish” to fry, not to mention the overcrowded prisons
Democrats own RECESSION too.
DeSantis should be required to submit to a drug test.
He is well within his gubernatorial rights to do this , or it never would have happened.
Abortion is not the only state crime that Warren deigned not to prosecute. He wouldn't prosecute arson, murder, theft, ETC. Elected officials like Warren don't get to do what 'they' want just like firemen don't get to cherry pick fires to put out.
Clown 🤡 governor has no such authority, so “suspended” is in quotes
Abortion is not the only state crime that Warren deigned not to prosecute. He wouldn't prosecute arson, murder, theft, ETCETERA. What good is he if he won't do his job? Elected or not, these ppl don't get in to do what 'they' want. Just like a fireman doesn't cherry pick fires.
This guy is as bad as Trump or worse because he may be a little smarter which makes him more dangerous.
If you dont do your job. You get fired. Just whsts wrong with it. Especially when. They tell you up front i am not gonna do it.
Is this even legal?
It’s the law. States pass the laws. Local prosecutors are supposed to uphold the law. If you don’t like it move to Canada they damn sure will throw you in jail for not following the law. It’s called the new liberal world order…
redhed67 Do he remind you of Mussolini
One of them governor’s in the country with balls! . . .
Prosecutors get to choose which laws they prosecute and don't? No wonder our society is going in the dumpster.
🚨The Radical Republican TRAITOR party attacked the US Capital while 147 Republican house TRAITORS voted to overthrow the US Gov,& forge official electoral college documents!It’s long past time to stand up to these PATHETIC REPUBLICAN TRAITORS TO AMERICA!🇺🇸
As a DA your JOB is to uphold the law. It is not up to you to pick and choose what you 'feel' in laws.
De Santiz sucks !!
Dictatorship?
Now do food and gas cost!! inflationcorruptionact
It sure is. Especially if they said leave it to the states! Hypocrite Desantis needs to go away
It's like a parent telling the principal who suspended the kid who got into a fight an 'extreme abuse of power.'
Prosecutors don't criminalize or decriminalize things. That is the job of legislators. A prosecutor's job is to prosecute violators of the law.
Ron DeSatan doing what Satan does.
Fascism
George Soros prosecutor You're welcome Bye 👋
Well... Time for deomcrat governor to remove sheriff that refuse to hold their officers accountable
That’s why he the governor. To enforce the laws
Abortion in Florida is allowed in the first trimester, similar to the laws in most EU countries. It is interesting that the attorney called the Governor's action 'illegal overreach', when his own refusal to uphold the law is clear illegal overreach.
This guy is the next Hitler
Knock knock……It is Florida people
DeSantis is eating shit in the polls. I guess he’s just getting desperate for any kind of headline that appeals to his hardline goon supporters.
DeSantis can get sued for that, preventing someone frim earning a living and provide for his family
This might be a good time for ABC News to report that DeSantis is just cooperating with the democrats who, when it's convenient for them like to remind us that 'no one is above the law'. So why you mad?
He refused to enforce the law. No on this issues, but he let many criminals back out on the streets. He is not above the law. What was suppose to happen? Look whats going on other places that let their AG do what they want!
And not following the law isn't?
Gee whiz ABC could you not tell the complete story? The State Attorney wrote a document signed by him that he would not enforce various laws enacted by the Florida legislature. Thus he was not going to perform his job as required by the Florida Constitution. Abysmally one-sided.
Who cares what one representative says? Disanctis is looking out for Floridians.
So selective prosecutorial enforcement of law is a thing now?
Expect to be fired if you refuse to do your job
Who cares what the 'one rep' said. The abuse of power is deciding not to enforce laws the people want. ABC=DNC
Said he won’t enforce the law - that is a problem.
And people want this guy to run for President? He’s a joke.
The Woke prosecutor did a lot more than ignore abortion laws, refused to charge criminals and gang members to start with. Has a long list
