TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Wednesday that a labor and delivery nurse has been barred from practicing in the state after posting a viral video wishing physical harm on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“Effective today, Lexie Lawler is no longer allowed to practice nursing in Florida,” Uthmeier stated on X, confirming that the Florida Department of Health has moved to revoke her license.
The action follows a prompt review by Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, which terminated Lawler last week after she shared an expletive-filled video wishing for Leavitt to suffer a “severe fourth-degree tear” and permanent physical damage during childbirth.
Lawler’s comments sparked widespread condemnation and prompted state officials to declare her conduct as an “ethical red line” warranting removal from the medical profession.
Uthmeier, who had previously called for the immediate revocation of Lawler’s credentials, praised Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo for what he called “decisive action.”
“Making statements that wish pain and suffering on anyone, when those statements are directly related to one’s practice, is an ethical red line we should not cross,” Uthmeier wrote on X. “She doesn’t belong anywhere near patients.”
The move comes as Florida officials also target a second healthcare professional, registered nurse Erik Martindale, for similar politically charged social media posts.
Martindale faced backlash after a post on his Facebook account stated he would refuse to provide anesthesia for “MAGA” supporters undergoing surgery, claiming that such a refusal was his “right” and consistent with his “ethical oath.”
Martindale later said his Facebook and Instagram accounts had been “hacked.” However, according the Libs of TikTok, account reported the same messages appeared on his Threads account, prompting critics to question the question that claim. Florida’s Voice has reached out to Martindale through his Facebook Messenger seeking comment.
The Florida Department of Health has the authority to issue emergency suspensions of nursing licenses if a practitioner’s conduct is found to pose an immediate risk to public health, safety, or welfare.

Waiting for idiot Federal judge.
Do any of these people come back to justify their actions? Even a obscenity and tear stained rant against Orangemanbad and all his Orangeminionsbad too would warm my heart.
It’s difficult for me to get my head around the hatred people like her feel.
I’m fully aware that they exist, but what force was it that turned them? It probably starts at home.
huh, you mean actions have consequences?
“It’s difficult for me to get my head around the hatred people like her feel.”
Just watch Rachel Maddow a few times, and she’ll quickly fill you with hate toward anything good and beautiful.
RE: Waiting for idiot Federal judge.
Yes.
With back pay to the nurse and the avenue for a big money law suit against Florida wide open.
“Justice.” in 2026.
Any licensed professional who goes on a public social media platform to advocate harm to anyone is as stupid as they are evil. Most people I know who rely on a license to earn a living protect it with their life. If they don’t have it, they can’t work or would have to take a job with significantly less money. Put aside for one moment the disgusting, evil statement and just focus on the stupidity - it amazes me that this nurse and the others who say similar things say what they say without thinking about how it impacts their families and ability to make a living.
These freaks of nature dont belong in the human race..to even have those kinds of thoughts they should be barred from practicing medicine PERIOD, evil, evil scum
That’s what I tell my mom who doesn’t understand how some people believe the way they do, I tell her, if you were to watch MSNBC and CNN for ONE day and you would think Trump is the devil, satan, mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and Mao all rolled into one
Ugh!
The devil?
I did that once, and for just 15 seconds or so.
Never, EVER again
Life is a far too short
She definitely a Nurse Wretched.
One of the vilest bile spills I have ever encountered.
HOORAY AG Uthmeier!
I hear they’ve got an opening for an ICE suicide retard up in MinneSomlia...
Petulant, childish, power hungry and the unquenchable need to completely control others. If they don’t get their way, they will burn the house down. You remember that one kid, when ever they are losing or lose a game they throw a tantrum. As an adult their tantrums are deadly and dangerous.
Finally some justice.
Dumbasses never learn
