A Florida nurse who was terminated after making graphic and violent remarks about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is now facing possible professional consequences after Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier publicly called for her nursing license to be revoked, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The controversy follows a viral video in which the nurse, whose name has not been released by authorities, made explicit comments wishing severe childbirth injuries on Leavitt.
The remarks surfaced after Leavitt announced in December that she and her husband are expecting a baby girl in May 2026. This will be the couple’s second child.

Leavitt shared the announcement on Instagram, writing, “The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for – a baby girl coming in May 2026.☺️”
She added, “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 also thanked President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, writing, “I am also extremely grateful to President Trump and our Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, and for fostering a pro-family environment in the White House.”
She concluded the post by saying, “2026 is going to be a great year, and I am so excited to be a girl mom!”

On Saturday, Attorney General Uthmeier weighed in, calling on the Florida Board of Nursing to take immediate action against the nurse.
Uthmeier publicly urged the board to revoke her nursing license, citing the severity of the remarks and concerns about professional conduct.

The situation escalated further after the nurse posted a follow-up video, which has since been deleted, responding angrily to the backlash.
In that video, she lashed out at critics and those calling for disciplinary action, according to individuals who viewed the post before it was removed.
