Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspends Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren for refusal to uphold the law

Governor DeSantis’s “major announcement” Thursday may not have been a Presidential bid, but it still shocked and enraged many liberals as promised.

Florida’s Governor decided to indefinitely suspend State Attorney Andrew Warren, of Hillsborough County, effective immediately.

Governor Ron DeSantis: “The Constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the Governor, not in individual state attorneys. And so, when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty. You have neglected your duty and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to reform those duties. So today, we are suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren effective immediately.”

Much like the other Soros-backed, woke prosecutors across the country, Andrew Warren refused to uphold the law and prosecute criminals.

Warren had previously said that he refuses to enforce Florida’s 15-week abortion ban. He also is highly critical of law enforcement, whom he refuses to cooperate with or support.

Criminals run rampant when prosecution is soft, it’s simple and it’s universal. Whether it’s St. Louis, Missouri. New Orleans, Louisiana. Los Angeles, California. The woke, blue cities with the woke, radical-left prosecutors have the highest crime and recidivism rates in the entire United States.

Warren has also previously promised to expunge arrests, but never followed through, leaving many with arrest records confused as to the current status of their arrest history. However, the main shortcoming of State Attorney Warren comes in his refusal to prosecute and his arbitrary employment of the law.

Governor DeSantis is not only upholding the rule of law by suspending State Attorney Warren, but he is also sending a message that the laws which the legislature puts forth must be enforced. That prosecution does not have the right or the power to pick and choose when to enforce the laws–they are civil servants, not activists.

According to the Florida state Constitution, DeSantis is not only allowed but required to carry out this suspension of Warren. That other governors in other states with woke DA’s refuse to do this is just further testament to Governor DeSantis’s commitment to the rule of law.

The governor has appointed county Judge Suzy Lopez, who has extensive background as a prosecutor, as Warren’s replacement. She promised, during DeSantis’s conference, to uphold the law and protect the people of Hillsborough county–something Warren should have done all along.

From the failed and recalled Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, to the woke and suspended Andrew Warren in Hillsborough County, America is sending a message–we respect the law, not criminals.
