TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — On Wednesday morning, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that he will be suspending State Attorney Monique H. Worrell, citing neglect of duty.

DeSantis made the announcement, saying Worrell's criminal justice administration has been, "clearly and fundamentally derelict, so as to constitute neglect of duty and incompetence."

> Interesting ... it’s an ELECTED office, apparently. <

I went to that woman’s website. She’s one of those uber-woke types, all about fighting inequality instead of fighting crime.

But should one elected official be able to suspend another elected official? Better I think to have a robust impeachment system and a robust recall system.

Maybe he should hire Bolton or Pence?

Removing liberals from power is now met with derision.

But should one elected official be able to suspend another elected official?

That's rather up to the people of the State of Florida.

Good and proper advice.

Florida’s Constitution allows governors to suspend local office holders for reasons including “malfeasance” or “neglect of duty” until the Legislature votes on whether to permanently remove or reinstate them.

In addition to good people, DJT sometimes hires incompetent Deep Staters to ‘Out’ and expose them, at the appropriate time.

He didn’t hire her. She was elected.

[subterfuge]

No there are quite a few jerks on the forum. They HATE Desantis more than they dislike Pelosi or Obama. Circular firing squad comes to mind.

Did he hire her? If not, there is no humor.

If Trump becomes incapacitated, God forbid, you Always Trumpers will be flailing around like hooked fish.

[alstewartfan]

Yes, RDS should have allowed this Soros ghoul to remain in office!
BTW, is this FR or CNN?

[alstewartfan]

You mean, like Chris Wray?

[V_TWIN]

I swear, there are people right here on this thread that if Governor DeSantis found a cure for cancer tomorrow they’d criticize the man for not doing it sooner. SMH

[tennmountainman]

I won’t be flailing around. The GOP will bottom out.

She defeated Belvin Perry, the judge in the Casey Anthony trial. A middle of the road Democrat.

[Paladin2]

Governor DeSantis has a cure for Cancer?

I thought the BiZiden Crime Fam had a corner on that grift.

[C210N]

There are a good number of ‘em, that’s fer sure.

Bagpipe Barr, Pence....

[popdonnelly]

Nice.
