FL State Attorney called him a "dictator" but DeSantis won

Florida Supreme Court Backs GOP Governor on Removal of Soros-Backed Prosecutor

The state of Florida has taken decisive action against a prosecutor whose election campaign was controversially funded by the polarizing billionaire George Soros. This prosecutor, once in office, quickly adopted a disastrously lenient approach to crime, a common trait among Soros-backed candidates, which led to widespread dissatisfaction among the public.

In August of last year, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis used his gubernatorial powers to remove Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren. DeSantis signed an executive order suspending Warren, citing “neglect of duty” and “incompetence” as the reasons for his removal.

At the same time, DeSantis also removed Monique Worrell, the progressive Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney, citing her for “dereliction of duty.” DeSantis stated, “The practices and policies of her office have allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct. In some cases, these offenders have evaded incarceration altogether,” according to Fox News.

Unsurprisingly, Worrell criticized DeSantis, calling him a “dictator.” She and her allies took the governor to court, arguing that her removal was politically motivated rather than based on her performance.

However, the Florida Supreme Court did not find Worrell’s arguments compelling. On Thursday, the court upheld DeSantis’s decision to suspend Worrell. The court ruled 6-1 that DeSantis had the authority to remove Worrell from her position, as reported by National Review.
