"A man is nothing without his conscience. It has become clear in recent days that I cannot join you on the road that lies before the agency."

Wilson abruptly quit days after sending letters to Florida TV stations warning they could face criminal prosecution for airing political ads in support of the abortion rights referendum.

• The DeSantis administration has since been rebuked by First Amendment experts and the head of the Federal Communications Commission.

• "To keep it simple for the State of Florida," he added, "it's the First Amendment, stupid."
