Florida AG Urges Nursing Board to Revoke Nurse’s License Over Leavitt TikTok

The nursing board has not announced disciplinary action despite a public demand from the state’s top prosecutor.

Overview

  • Attorney General James Uthmeier called the nurse "vile" and said the Florida Board of Nursing should revoke her license and keep her away from patients permanently.
  • The nurse, Alexis "Lexie" Lawler, was fired by Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital after a video in which she said she wished White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt a fourth-degree tear during childbirth.
  • Baptist Health said her remarks violated the hospital’s standards for compassionate, unbiased patient care.
  • Lawler later defended herself in another video that used explicit language and referenced an unrelated shooting in Minnesota.
  • A GoFundMe organized by Unlawful Threads had raised nearly $5,000 toward a $14,000 goal as of Monday, and there is no public indication of formal board discipline.
