A Florida nurse who said she hopes White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gets seriously injured during childbirth is defending herself to critics in a new TikTok video.

“So they just murdered a man in Minnesota, they murdered a man in Minnesota, and you motherf—— are coming after me ’cause I used bad 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 posting a video where she wished Leavitt permanent harm during childbirth, saying, “As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth degree tear.”

She added, “I hope you f—— rip from bow to stern and never s— normally again, you c—,” she said.

The hospital told Fox News Digital that her comments “do not reflect our values or the standards we expect of healthcare professionals.”

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is calling for the Florida Board of Nursing to revoke Lawler’s license.

Uthmeier told Fox News Digital in a statement that, “Women shouldn’t have to worry about a politically-driven nurse who wishes them pain and suffering being in the delivery room during childbirth.”

He added, “It’s evil. The Florida Board of Nursing must take action to keep this person away from patients permanently.”
