The decade's most triggering comedy
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday morning that he has suspended Monique Worrell, State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, for dereliction of duty and incompetence.
DeSantis said that Worrell, who was backed by a group tied to Democrat billionaire George Soros, has allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct.
The policies and practices mentioned in the executive order that led to her suspension include Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Gun Crimes, Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Drug Trafficking Offenses, Allowing Juvenile Offenders to Avoid Serious Charges and Incarceration Altogether, Avoiding Valid and Applicable Sentencing Enhancements, Limiting Charges for Child Pornography, and Seeking Withhold of Adjudication in Situations Not Permitted Under Florida Law.
DeSantis’s office listed numerous instances of the “more egregious results of her policies or practices in action.” Some of the examples included:
The governor said at a press conference that he was appointing Judge Andrew Bain to take over Worrell’s duties as State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
The move by DeSantis comes almost exactly one year after he removed another woke Soros prosecutor, State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit, from office.
