Floridas Governor isnt committing to let two State Attorneys he removed from office serve if theyre elected this November.
When asked directly if he would be willing to tell the voters that he overthrew the popular vote if he removed Democrats Andrew Warren and Monique Worrell from office again in the 13th and 9th Judicial Circuits, respectively, Gov. Ron DeSantis offered no such commitment in Pinellas Park.
When both of those folks were in office, they took the position that they didnt have to enforce laws they disagreed with that caused people to be put back on the street who then victimized folks that should not have been victimized, DeSantis said, adding that law enforcement shared his concerns.
Warren won his Democratic Primary with more than 70% of the vote; Worrell was unopposed in her Primary. Their opponents, backed by DeSantis after he appointed them as fill-ins, are Republicans Suzy Lopez and Andrew Bain. Bain is running as an independent against Worrell.

(3,010 posts)It sucks, but that's the way it goes. I just wish that President Biden could remove Desantis the same way he removed these people. Our state would be so much better off. Just when I thought we could not have a governor worse than Rick Scott, along comes this asshole.
