Gov. DeSantis is a true leader

 

[VIDEO] This video was published today. Down there is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is suspending Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren. 

As I post this I'm going through the video and see Gov. DeSantis cite the issues in Los Angeles and San Francisco for their prosecutors failing to adequate prosecute criminals. Even cite that in S.F. - reminder they recalled their prosecutor as crime rose there - you can steal a certain amount of merchandise and you won't be arrested nor prosecuted.

Here's why:

DeSantis said Warren put himself above the law by signing letters saying he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors and would not prosecute abortion cases. He made the latter statement after Roe v. Wade was struck down by the Supreme Court.

"It's not for (Warren) to put himself above that, and say that he is not going to enforce the law," DeSantis said at the news conference. "We don't elect people in one part of the state, to have veto power over what the entire state decides on these important issues.

"The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in individual state attorneys. And so when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty, you have neglected your duty, and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to perform those duties. So today we are suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren effective immediately."

I know some states have the ability to remove - independent of recall - of prosecutors. Particularly elected prosecutors like Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx who got a second term in 2020. In this state, I'm not aware of such a process and voters can't recall her. So we get to recall her in 2024 when voters choose the next POTUS because it definitely won't be Joe Biden running again.

Either way he doesn't mention the issues of Manhattan where a prosecutor there District Attorney Alvin Bragg is engaging in the practice that got Mr. Warren suspended and ultimately to be removed from office. Crime is rising in NYC especially in Manhattan. The Governor of NY is Kathy Hochul, she's running for re-election and hopefully crime is important to voters there. She's not taken any action yet from what I can tell.

Here in Illinois - Chicago area especially crime is an issue. Our Gov. J.B. Pritzker seems to run ads about making Illinois a haven for abortions. How about making this state safer for your citizens? What are we going to do about rising crime in an important urban center such as Chicago?

So anyway, the above video shows how Gov. DeSantis right now is my favorite Republican right now. I do hope he becomes POTUS one day, even as soon as 2024. Sorry Trump you were great too, however, DeSantis is the future!
