#Florida #StateAttorney #ABCNLPrime
Mr. Warren, just because you were elected doesn't mean you get to pick and choose who you will prosecute based on your political and ideological beliefs. State's attorneys don't get to choose which LAWS to enforce because he doesn't agree with them. For example. Florida's legislatures (elected officials responsible for crafting new laws) enacted a ban on abortions after 15 weeks. Warren has stated publicly that he will not enforce this law. Additionally Mr. Warren promised that he will not prosecute providers of gender re-assignment surgery to minors. Again, this is a law that was passed in the State House of Florida by elected officials. Imagine the chaos created by rogue judges and State's attorneys who refuse to enforce the laws based on their own biases.
I think Governor DeSantis took the right action.
Anyone standing up against Dumb Santis Is delightful and amazing.
It would be nice to know why he was fired.
This guy made a stupid pledge and it bit him in the ass. Pretty simple story
Run for the legislature then he can write laws…otherwise just follow the law.
LYING MAINSTREAM MEDIA!! HE GOT SUSPENDED BECAUSE HE WAS DROPPING CHARGES ON CRIMINALS, PICKING & CHOOSING WHICH CRIMES TO PROSECUTE ALL IN THE NAME OF "SOCIAL JUSTICE." AND MANY OTHER VIOLATIONS…. THEY'RE MAKING THIS A "ABORTION" ISSUE & THIS GUY WAS DOING MORE THAN THAT.
Well, the prosecutor has the responsibility to prosecute all people who violate the crime. This prosecutor thinks he’s God. He needs to be fired.
Cry me a bucket of tears…. About time somebody stood up to you left wing people that think you get to make a chose what laws you wanna abide by. More of you need done this way
ARE YOU SERIOUS 170 THOUSAND TAX AGENTS, F*CK ME !
and thus concluded Andys 15 minuets of fame
Pro tip – don’t be a self righteous tool and you get to keep your job.
Awe that little attorney general is so cute. He thinks America and all of its states are still a democracy.
elected with Soros money
You were fired for refusing to uphold the laws of Florida, your job.
Hesca criminal. GREAT JOB GOV DESANTIS. REMOVE THE SOROS ROGUE MARXISTS
Let me put it to you in a way you can better understand it … "Step into my office …. you're fuckin' fired!"
Dude … face it … Gov Ron knows you're a liberal vag-boy who is probably accepting kick backs from Soros. Go home … change your tampon … suck it up!
Thank you for not letting the wanna be dictator punk you. I’m with you Andrew
It’s only been 80 years since we freed fascist Germany. Why is it so hard for these retards not to remember history. It’s called fascism.
You mean employee is mad he got benched?. Now he is bad mouthing him. No cant be.
A crooked lawyer he is gone now!!!
It's pretty bad when the Sheriffs department has to step up and say that they can't do their job because of the State Attorney refusing to do his. There's a lot more to it than the letter about abortions. He is the typical Soros bought DA. Crime in Tampa is going up, and they were one of the few places that allowed people to Riot during the summer of love. The rest of the Counties shut it down before it got to be a problem
Daddy Soros told you to go to ABC and CNN? Good doggy
Why is it that Democrats love to say " attack on democracy " when they undermine the constitution and the rule of law CONSTANTLY. Talk about a lack of self awareness.
Hey ABC get the whole story straight , he wouldnt prosecute certain crimes not just the abortion law
I’m so happy he’s standing up to mini hitler- I mean desantis lol. These are the same ppl who said “my body my choice†when asked to wear a damn mask! A mask in a pandemic!! 🤣But now they want to prosecute women and doctors who want to choose abortion. What happened to my body my choice lol?? What a clown show!
Your job is to uphold the law.. gtfo…
Just another one of George soros's minions
Nobody but you scumbag media are the only one's claiming that hes abusing his power he actually is following the Constitution this idiot prosecutor and all you idiots in the media don't know how to follow the Constitution. This prosecutor is a consistent liar and makes crap up as he goes along
Andrew Warren is a ‘fraud, he said he would "EXPUNGE" criminal records of the rioters in florida. He does not have that power to do this, besides, they are criminals why would he do this?
I live in Florida and this guy is a woke idiot that continues to let criminals get away with committing crimes and not even Prosecuting them this guy is a scumbag and has no business ever being any kind of prosecutor Governor DeSantis did the right thing and a majority of Floradians agree with it
DeSantis is the BOSS! HOPE THIS SPREADS ACROSS THE COUNTRY!
Bozoo, George Doris minion. You want to be anti people, but they only introduce you based on abortion. Why was San Francisco attorney general recalled again ?? LEAVE THE SCENE LOSER !!!
