A state attorney who has refused to do his job, has been benched by Governor DeSantis
DeSantis, a Republican who has been courting conservatives as part of an expected presidential bid in 2024, also took issue with Democrat Andrew Warren’s stance that he would not enforce laws restricting gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
DeSantis said Warren, who serves as the top prosecutor in Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit in Tampa, was behaving as if he was above the law by promising to use his prosecutorial discretion to avoid bringing certain types of criminal cases.
“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 said in a statement.
