Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that a Boca Raton nurse who made explicit comments about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is no longer licensed in Florida.
Alexis "Lexie" Lawler, who worked at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, made the graphic remarks about Leavitt in a TikTok video, which was shared by Libs of TikTok on X earlier this month. Lawler was later fired by the hospital over the remarks.
"Making statements that wish pain and suffering on anyone, when those statements are directly related to one's practice, is an ethical red line we should not cross. I'm proud of @FLSurgeonGen for taking this decisive action," Uthmeier wrote.
"Being fired isn’t good enough. Any healthcare worker who fails to uphold his or her obligation to provide adequate, safe healthcare should not be licensed in Florida," Uthmeier added. "No excuses!"

"As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth-degree tear. I hope you rip from f* bow to stern and never s* normally again you c*," Lawler said in a post shared by Libs of TikTok.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a fourth-degree tear is the most severe laceration a woman can have during childbirth.
Karoline Leavitt, who has served as President Donald Trump's press secretary since 2025, is currently pregnant with her second child, a baby girl, due in May. Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, already have a son who was born in July 2024.
"My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth," Leavitt wrote in a December Instagram post.
