The truth about Monique Worrell

* In his executive order suspending Worrell, DeSantis cited his authority to remove state's attorneys

* during press conference announcing Worrell's ouster, DeSantis treated his removal of a duly elected official as a joke

* Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd shared the stage w. DeSantis

* held up placard with meme-inspired cartoon of Worrell in house on fire proclaiming “This is fine”
