Former Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren is campaigning for his job back and asking for donations.
In a video released Sunday morning, Warren, who was recently suspended from his position by Gov. Ron DeSantis, stated, “Ron DeSantis is trying to overthrow democracy in Florida,” adding that the action DeSantis took against him “violates the most fundamental basis of our democracy.”
“His plot to suspend me lately violates the most fundamental basis of our democracy— your vote. He’s turned to overturn the results of a fair and free election,” said Warren, who claims that crime in the jurisdiction he once worked in was “low,” and that residents shared his “vision for criminal justice.”
Warren went on to call his suspension illegal and was simply part of some “political circus” orchestrated by DeSantis.
“Let me be clear I'm not going down without a fight,” concluded Warren.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister spoke at the press conference and expressed his frustration with Warren’s “empathy for criminals.”
“I continue to work with my law enforcement counterparts who privately are frustrated with the state attorney, who seems intently focused on empathy for criminals and less interested in pursuing justice for crime victims,” Sheriff Chronister said.
Sheriff Chronister added,” our criminal justice partners also take an oath to uphold the Constitution, the duly enacted laws of this state, and to be the voice for victims, and to be the protectors of public interest. The governor's suspension of State Attorney Warren is not political to me, it's about law and order. There are not Republican and Democratic victims, just victims."
Vulgar man. No ethics.
No, Jimmy, you didn’t do your job and you are being replaced. The End.
So a Democracy is when one person gets to overrule laws passed by the legislature and signed by the governor?
Play the victim card. We all knew this was coming.
These tactics simply don’t work anymore. This new generation of Republicans, led by DeSantis, don’t care about negative press or the Left calling them names.
Plans on running for office, I guess.
I hope he loses badly.
Proving that DeSantis was right to take action against him. An enemy at the gates is less formidable.
VOTE HIM OUT !!!

This does seem to be the template the Soros Rogue Squad means to take national.
That is not bad for conservatives. Every dollar Warren soaks up is one dollar that can not be used to defeat a conservative candidate.
If ten people tell that man “atta boy” he'll probably decide he should run for governor; maybe president.
But if he really wants his job back he can go to the Florida Senate and justify his repudiation of the Florida Legislature.
I'm sure the super-majority Republican Senate is eager for him to take the stand.
DeSantis can sack him again.
When you read their haughty “Threat to democracy” phrase as actually meaning, “Threat to Democrats” then it all makes sense.
Or "Threat to us staying in power", also works well.
Warren should be criminally prosecuted for violating his oath of office. There are multiple counts, enough for him to spend a long time behind bars. Consider what the J6 protestors have gone through, and they were innocent of any real crimes.
His suspension is going to stick and he will pocket all the money the liberals send him. Love it when liberals eat their own.
DeSantis had Law Enforcement evict him from his office.
I’m waiting for Warren to bring his own Law Enforcement.
to fight his way back in.
Ain’t gonna happen.
letting criminals run free is democracy?
who voted for that?
