Florida GOP chair faces police investigation
Axios ^ | 11/30/2023 | Kathryn Varn , Yacob Reyes

Posted on 11/30/2023 5:49:59 PM PST by babble-on

Florida Republican Party Chair Christian Ziegler is the subject of a police investigation that reportedly involves an allegation of sexual battery.

The big picture: Nonprofit watchdog news site Florida Trident, citing sources close to the investigation, first reported that a woman alleged she was in a "longstanding consensual" sexual relationship with Ziegler and his wife, Bridget, before being "sexually battered" by Ziegler at her home, without his wife present.

....

* Christian Ziegler took over as state GOP chairman in February after serving as a Sarasota County commissioner and years of conservative activism.

* The governor appointed Bridget Ziegler to a board overseeing Disney World and endorsed her successful run for Sarasota School Board last year.

* Bridget Ziegler is also a co-founder of Moms For Liberty.

When being a unpleasant person is seen as a job qualification, you get some pretty unpleasant people in positions of responsibility.

A three way huh?

I’m thinking it was more of a two way between the women and this guy was along for the ride. When he tried to get a little one on one w/o his wife, gag was the last straw

I see a divorce then a lesbo wedding in the future.

maybe so. but i wouldn’t assume this is more than a leftist hit piece on Moms for Liberty and DeSantis, yet.

i just checked out this crusading journolist site, Florida Trident—self proclaimed gov’t watchdog of sw FL site. just a very few articles are there, looks fly by night, and one is drips bias for anti-life, pro-abort, and obviously anti-christian. lot of articles by one guy. anyone know who Bob Norman is? he reads like Media Matters.

Wasn’t one of DeSantis donors a swinger too?

Their “sexy Santa party” was in December 2022. On their social media, they have photos of them attending the “Groove Cruise”, which is a cruise that is marketed toward swingers.

all the earmarks of a classic political attack on a gop male. guilt by association and sexual morals charge by an unknown woman, who is often protected from scrutiny. often gets the gope to turn on a conservative.

What’s the charge? Being a republican in the first degree?

Anonymous accusations are only to be rejected when they're against TRUMP.

Many on our side fall for it every time. Their fickleness makes it hard to win.

Remember when they bailed on Matt Gaetz over “sex stories.”

My first instinct is to wait for more info since this could be a Leftist hit operation. But then I think, are there any decent people in the political class? TBD.

And...? Now we are supposed to say, “Oh no I can’t vote Republican now”?
That stupidity wrecked the Republican party 2006 but won’t dent it this cycle.

Founder of Moms for Liberty is a closeted bisexual, husband the chair of the Florida GOP is an accused rapist. There is footage of the three of them going at it, but nothing to provide evidence for the rape accusation. It’s a story worth noting, I think.

No charges have been brought against Christian Ziegler so far.

“maybe so. but i wouldn’t assume this is more than a leftist hit piece on Moms for Liberty and DeSantis, yet.”

Most likely, but that won’t prevent the leftist holy-rollers from jumping on the story and virtue-signaling to their fake bearded-god how pure they are.
