Lawler sparked a massive online firestorm after posting a TikTok video where she explicitly wished severe medical harm on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is currently pregnant. “Effective today, Lexie Lawler is no longer allowed to practice nursing in Florida. In it, she stated it gave her “great joy” to wish a “fourth-degree tear” on Leavitt during childbirth. For those outside the medical field, a fourth-degree tear is widely considered the most severe and painful obstetric injury possible. Despite the Attorney General’s definitive statement that Lawler is barred from practicing, the situation on paper remains a bit murky.
