"He's the proud villain behind Alligator Alcatraz, he brags about being married to his babies in his Twitter bio, and last year, as Ron DeSantis' chief of staff, he launched Florida's " Freedom Fund," an anti-marijuana, anti-abortion initiative. (Recently, the fund's been embroiled in an ongoing probe into Hope Florida, run by Casey DeSantis, which quietly funneled $10 million to nonprofit organizations. Uthmeier has denied any role in the investigation.)"
"He concludes the stupid obloquy by saying, "At the end of the day, we believe this is dangerous." His language parrots that of other anti-abortion AGs like Ken Paxton from Texas and Andrew Bailey from Missouri (the latter recently stepped down from his position to join the FBI). In August, Uthmeier, Paxton, Bailey, and 19 other AG clowns quietly submitted a letter to the FDA asking them to re-review the safety of the abortion pill."
James Uthmeier cultivates a provocative public image, promoting Alligator Alcatraz and listing 'married to his babies' in his Twitter bio. As Ron DeSantis' former chief of staff, he launched Florida's Freedom Fund, an anti-marijuana, anti-abortion initiative tied to a probe into Hope Florida; he denied involvement. At a Tampa news conference he cited complaints alleging harms to women and young girls using mifepristone and warned that medications sent from out-of-state can reach minors. He labeled the medication "dangerous" and aligned with other anti-abortion attorneys general who asked the FDA to re-review mifepristone's safety, despite evidence supporting the pill's safety.
