NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Florida nurse who said she expected White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to be seriously injured during childbirth is defending herself against critics in a new TikTok video.
“So they killed a man in Minnesota, they killed a man in Minnesota, and you’re coming after me because I use f—ing language? F— you. I’m on the right side of this. F— you,” said Lexie Lawler, a former labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
Lawler was fired from Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital after she posted a video in which she wished for Leavitt to suffer permanent harm during childbirth, writing, “As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great pleasure to wish Karoline Leavitt fourth degree tears.”

“I hope you get torn from stem to stern and never go back to normal again, huh—-,” he said.
The hospital told Fox News Digital that his comments “do not reflect our values or the standards we expect from healthcare professionals.”

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is calling on the Florida Board of Nursing to revoke Lawler’s license.
“Women do not need to worry about a politically motivated nurse wishing them pain and suffering in the delivery room during labor,” Uthmeier told Fox News Digital.
“This is bad. The Florida Board of Nursing must take action to keep this person away from patients permanently.”
