Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suspended a George Soros-backed progressive prosecutor for failing to enforce state laws. DeSantis said Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren — who oversees the Tampa Bay area — will be removed from his post immediately. The governor said he will ultimately seek his dismissal. At a press conference Thursday, DeSantis insisted Warren had “publicly put himself above the law” while frustrating local deputies and citizens with a soft-on-crime approach.
