Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Removes Radical State Attorney From His Post

Across America over the past few years, billionaire agitator George Soros has been funding and installing who he wants within the Justice Department, to further his anti-American agenda.

One place where it will not be tolerated is Florida. 

The Sunshine State’s Governor Ron DeSantis has taken action against a Soros-funded state attorney, who of course is nothing short of a far left radical – the sort of people that enable pedophiles and embolden criminals – stopping him in his tracks.

On Thursday, Gov. DeSantis said that law enforcement officers were sent to remove State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit from office for his “militant agenda” and refusal to implement laws he does not agree with.

“State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda,” DeSantis noted in a statement. “It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida. I have the utmost trust that Judge Susan Lopez will lead the office through this transition and faithfully uphold the rule of law.”

According to his order: “As of the signing of this Executive Order, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by other law enforcement agencies as necessary, is requested to: (i) assist in the immediate transition of Andrew Warren from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida, with access only to retrieve his personal belongings; and (ii) ensure that no files, papers, documents, notes, records, computers, or removable storage media are removed from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida by Andrew Warren or any of his staff.”

Following an assessment of state attorneys, Warren was removed by DeSantis’ office – after they found that the DA had vowed to disregard laws around abortions, opting instead to not charge abortion patients or the physicians who carry the abortions out illegally after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

“We had the individual here from Hillsborough County say and signed letters that there are certain laws he just won’t enforce and won’t prosecute,” DeSantis told Fox News exclusively following a press conference announcing the suspension.

“States attorneys that put their ideology over the rule of law are not satisfying their oath of office,” said the governor.

DeSantis is himself a lawyer, educated at both Harvard and Yale and served as a judge advocate for the U.S. Navy and an assistant U.S. Attorney.

In a tweet last month, Warren wrote: “The 15-week ban is unconstitutional on its face. Tallahassee knew it when it passed the bill hoping judges will ignore the privacy right in FL Constitution.”

“I put my hand on the Bible and swore to defend the US & Florida Constitutions. Florida’s Constitution has a privacy right that clearly covers abortion. While Tallahassee tries to circumvent the law, I will uphold the law and protect our freedom,” he added.

During the press conference, however, DeSantis said that Warren has continuously refused to enforce laws by the legislature – designed to crack down on child sex-charge operations and other abortion restrictions.

Warren has now been replaced by Hillsborough County Court Judge Lopez.

DeSantis defended Warren’s removal, and told Fox News:

“I do think that some of these prosecutors that have a very militant agenda in terms of ideology have been able to get away with a lot in other states. … We’ve had prosecutors around this country that think they can pick and choose which laws to enforce.”

The state attorney “may have thought, because they get away with it in Los Angeles, they get away with it in Baltimore, that he could do this stuff in Florida,” DeSantis added. “Not on my watch … We’re going to take decisive action, to protect the people of the state.”
