Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference on Feb. 24 in Orlando, Fla.ByMIAMI — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended the top county prosecutor from Tampa on Thursday after the Democrat publicly said he wouldn’t enforce a new state abortion restriction or a potential law banning surgeries for transgender children.
“When you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty,” DeSantis said. “You have neglected your duty, and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to perform those duties.”after he first won office in 2016 and had considered running for Florida attorney general in 2022, accused DeSantis of political posturing, suggesting the governor was motivated by his reelection campaign and his potential 2024 White House bid.
A Warren adviser who was not authorized to publicly speak on his behalf said Warren was blindsided by the DeSantis announcement and by the area law enforcement officials who bashed him as soft on crime while standing next to the governor at the news conference in Tampa. Describing the suspension as “political, another notch in Ron’s belt as he positions himself to run for president,” his adviser said Warren justifies resisting Florida'sDeSantis signed because it violates the law: a state constitutional privacy provision that the state Supreme Court previously ruled protected abortion rights. The new law is being challenged in court.
