DeSantis takes action against Soros-backed prosecutor for ‘neglecting responsibilities’ through executive order.
DeSantis Takes Action Against Soros-Funded Prosecutor
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, known for his strong conservative stance, recently made a bold move to address a concerning issue in his state.
According to Fox News, DeSantis issued an executive order suspending Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Monique Worrell due to her “dereliction of duty.”
Worrell, who received financial support from Hungarian-American billionaire and progressive political activist George Soros during her 2020 election campaign, has been criticized for her soft-on-crime approach.

DeSantis’ office stated that Worrell’s lenient approach has allowed violent offenders and dangerous drug traffickers to receive reduced sentences or evade incarceration altogether, posing a threat to public safety.
Similar to other Soros-backed progressive prosecutors, Worrell prioritized the interests of criminals over the well-being of the community.
Soros’ involvement in the 2020 race for Orlando’s State Attorney Office sparked controversy, with his PAC, “Our Voice Our Vote,” spending over $1.5 million on pro-Worrell ads, surpassing the combined spending of all four candidates.
While Democrats often condemn election interference, they conveniently overlook Soros’ meddling in state-level elections to promote his progressive agenda.
DeSantis, citing the Florida constitution, defended his authority to remove Worrell. This is not the first time he has taken action against a state attorney, as he previously suspended Hillsborough County state attorney Andrew Warren.
Despite his unsuccessful presidential campaign, DeSantis has demonstrated his commitment to upholding the law and protecting the interests of his constituents.
