It's just as I thought. Monique Worrell didn't do anything to warrant being suspended by Ron DeSantis. He is unconstitutionally removing Democrat elected officials and replacing them with his allies.
So far he has gotten away with replacing Andrew Warren. He is busy appealing a decision not to reinstate him due to his technical violation of state law. That violation? Refusing to prosecute women who seek abortion services and doctors who provide them.

Ron DeSantis just suspended another elected official who isn't on board with his fascist agenda for Florida. Monique Worrell is a state attorney with the 9th Judicial Circuit in Orlando. She was elected to serve by the people of Orange and Osceola counties. His reason was "neglect of duty". As governor he does have the right to suspend officials, but he has to have a good reason for it.
What did Monique Worrell do to be suspended for neglect of duty? Apparently she is supposed to be a psychic. Earlier this year, a young man shot and killed a 9 year old girl, a journalist for the Spectrum News 13, and his pregnant girlfriend. The 9th Judicial Circuit approved his release from jail prior to murders. If an inmate has fulfilled conditions of their incarceration, you don't keep them locked up! What else did SA Worrell do to deserve this political hit job? Use her discretion when handling cases involving minors that were involved in crimes in which guns or drugs were involved. She ran on reforming how crimes are prosecuted in Orange and Osceola Counties. She is against locking everyone up. She should be hailed for her efforts to lower crime and using imprisonment as a last resort. DeSantis needs to be stopped.
