Fla. Nurse Fired Over Leavitt Childbirth Post
24th January 2026
A labor and delivery nurse in Boca Raton, Florida, has been fired after posting a profane social media message hoping for harm to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt during childbirth.
Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital said Friday that Alexis “Lexie” Lawler is no longer employed after posting that it would bring her “great joy” if Leavitt suffered a severe childbirth injury known as a fourth-degree tear.
A fourth-degree tear is extensive muscle and tissue damage that can lead to lasting medical complications.
