Leftist healthcare workers keep showing their true colors on social media.
Another one just destroyed his career with a single post.
And a Florida nurse fled the state the moment he got caught making this threat against Trump supporters.
Nurse promises to deny anesthesia to MAGA patients
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in the state after he threatened to refuse anesthesia to Trump supporters.
Martindale posted on Facebook that he would deny medical care to anyone who supports the MAGA movement.
"I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA," Martindale wrote.
"It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education," he continued.
"I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone," Martindale added.
Libs of TikTok exposed the post and it went viral across conservative social media.
The University of Miami graduate appeared in his nursing uniform while making the shocking declaration.

Martindale later claimed his Facebook account was hacked after the backlash erupted.
But nobody bought it.
Attorney General drops hammer on radical nurse
Uthmeier made it clear that Florida has zero tolerance for healthcare workers who put politics above patient care.
"Effective today, Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in Florida," Uthmeier announced on X. "Healthcare is not contingent on political beliefs, and we have zero tolerance for partisans who put politics above their ethical duty to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve," he stated.
State officials revealed that Martindale voluntarily gave up his license.
But there's more to this story.
A high-ranking state official confirmed that Martindale broke the compact agreement by moving to Indiana without notifying the Florida Board of Nursing.
The nurse fled the state after getting caught threatening Trump supporters.
According to state law, voluntary relinquishment "does not constitute discipline."
That means Martindale could potentially get licensed in another state.

Pattern of left-wing healthcare workers attacking conservatives
This isn't an isolated incident.
Florida saw another nurse, Lexie Lawler, fired just days earlier for wishing severe childbirth injuries on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Lawler posted a TikTok video targeting the pregnant White House spokeswoman.
"As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth degree tear," Lawler said in her video.
A fourth-degree tear is an extremely serious childbirth injury that requires weeks to heal.
Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital fired Lawler after conducting a "prompt review."
The hospital said the comments called into question Lawler's "ability to provide compassionate, unbiased care."
Both nurses used their social media accounts to defend their actions.
Lawler went on another profanity-laced rant claiming she was "on the right side of this."
These radical healthcare workers proved they can't be trusted to provide care without letting their political hatred interfere.
Martindale's threat to deny anesthesia based on political beliefs crosses every ethical line in medicine.
Patients going under for surgery are at their most vulnerable.
The idea that a nurse would withhold pain medication because he disagrees with someone's politics is barbaric.
Florida Attorney General Uthmeier sent a clear message.
Healthcare workers who put partisan politics above their duty to patients have no place practicing medicine in the state.
