The New York Times recently did a major examination into Gov. Ron DeSantis’ suspension last August of a Florida district attorney for the lightweight factor that he ‘d openly announced that he would not implement state law on abortion.
The Florida Legislature had actually just invested almost two months composing a compromise costs that enabled abortions approximately 15 weeks– more liberal than most European nations– and consisted of an exception for life of the mom. An abortionist would actually have to turn himself in to get prosecuted under this law.
“It’s become something of a way of life option for Democrats to run for office, then refuse to enforce any laws they disagree with.”
What sort of showboating clown would sign a public “promise” not to prosecute a case that had about a 1 in 10 billion possibility of ever landing in his workplace?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Florida state attorney Andrew H. Warren.
This wasn’t Warren’s very first promotion stunt. Even a fawning profile on Warren in the Tampa Bay Times noted his penchant for going “out of his way to draw attention to himself,” setting him “apart from other chosen prosecutors.”
During the pandemic, Warren held a press conference to reveal that he was prosecuting a church pastor for breaching the county’s stay-at-home order by holding services– a misdemeanor offense.
Days later on, Gov. DeSantis issued an order expressly overriding the county’s shutdown guidelines– and Warren held a press conference to knock the governor’s order. People will DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
He held an interview a couple of months later on, after dismissing criminal charges versus 67 BLM protesters detained by the cops for unlawful assembly. (Fortunately, gathering together to praise George Floyd positions none of the health dangers of congregating to praise Jesus.)
So when Warren held another interview to reveal his pledge not to prosecute abortion cases, DeSantis removed him from workplace. (Florida constitution: “the guv may suspend from office … any county officer, for impropriety, misfeasance, neglect of duty …”)
You wanted to be a hero, Andy? OK, you’re a hero! My conscience demands I sign this promise. Here I stand. I can do no other. … HEY, WAIT! YOU CAN’T FIRE ME!
A precise headline on this story would be something like, “Guv suspends public servant for refusing to do his job.” But The New York City Times‘ heading was: “Inside Ron DeSantis’s Politicized Elimination of a Chosen District attorney.” (My headline: “Inside The New York Times’ Politicized Report on a Republican Guv.”)
The press reporters, junior psychologists, decided to surpass the truths and reveal DeSantis’ secret motive. It appears that the real factor DeSantis fired an insolent district attorney was because: He believed it would be popular with voters.
I understand, horrible, ideal?
Hey, New York Times, how about asking why shooting this preening fruitcake might be favored by citizens?
[Frantically waving my hand.]
Individuals are sick of taxpayer-supported government authorities who expect standing ovations for refraining from doing their tasks. It’s ended up being something of a way of life option for Democrats to run for workplace, then decline to implement any laws they disagree with.
President Obama revealed that he would not enforce migration laws against so-called “Dreamers,” despite passing an amnesty being Congress’ task. Obama even offered the illegals work allows, in open defiance of federal law.
Then Trump ended up being president, and Democrats around the nation revealed that they, too, would decline to comply with federal immigration laws, declaring themselves “sanctuary cities.”
In the last few years, we got a variety of George Soros-backed, BLM-supporting progressive prosecutors showily refusing to prosecute. Cook County (Illinois) State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, for instance, stated her objective in office was to combat “mass incarceration,” which is practically the specific reverse of her job description. She offered a totally free pass to the majority of thiefs, about half of drug traffickers, and gang members participating in Wild West shootouts– which she described as “shared combat.”
Instead of “Do not do the criminal activity if you can’t do the time,” how about: “Do not run for the job if you have no objective of doing it”? (I’m still working on the rhyming part.) It would resemble firefighters and cops who refused to respond to calls.
That’s why, yes, New York Times, DeSantis’ firing of Warren is most likely going to be a struck with voters. He’s the very first man to take these comic book heroes at their word and remove them from the offices they freely contempt. Working with DeSantis is a lot simpler than having to keep arranging enormous recall campaigns– as the locals of San Francisco recently did to get rid of their anti-prosecution district attorney Chesa Boudin.
However isn’t it fantastic to have the Times mad at a Republican for in fact scoring a win– and not for posting obnoxious tweets? If it were Trump, they ‘d be slamming him for tweeting something unfortunate about Andrew Warren’s face.
Everybody’s worried DeSantis won’t be as “exciting” as Trump on the campaign trail. After all-talk-no-action Trump, who appreciates talk? This time, we want action.
