Monique Worrell accused DeSantis of 'weaponizing the Constitution' by using his power as governor to remove elected officials in Democratic areas of Florida.
he's done it with other elected officials, and the common theme here is that these elected officials are in Democratic counties," Worrell said."The common theme here is that he is a weak authoritarian and that he is using his power to retaliate against areas in this state that did not support him in the election.. And we're seeing it where he goes and chooses to suspend or remove a duly elected official.
In his executive order announcing Worrell's suspension, DeSantis accused her of having"authorized or allowed practices or policies that have systematically, drug traffickers, serious-juvenile offenders, and pedophiles to evade incarceration" when otherwise warranted under Florida law. "The people of Central Florida deserve to have a State Attorney who will seek justice in accordance with the law instead of allowing violent criminals to roam the streets and find new victims," DeSantis added in a statement.also condemned DeSantis for suspending Worrell. State Rep. Anna Eskamani, who represents Orlando, called the removal of the only Black woman serving as a state attorney in Florida"absolutely disgusting" in a statement.
"Her removal is a complete slap in the face to Orange and Osceola County residents and another example of Governor DeSantis eroding our local control and democracy," Eskamani said."This politically motivated action by the Governor in a predominantly Democratic part of the state should alarm everyone. DeSantis is extreme, unfit to serve, and must be held accountable."
DeSantis has appointed former judge Andrew Bain to serve as Orlando State Attorney for the duration of Worrell's suspension.
