    Florida GOP chairman Christian Ziegler faces sexual battery allegations (nbcnews.com)

    Florida Republican Party Chairman Christian Ziegler is under criminal investigation for allegations related to sexual battery, including rape, according to a complaint filed with the Sarasota Police Department.

    A heavily redacted 13-page report released Thursday includes mention of “rape” and “had been sexual battered…on 10/02/2023.” The report offers few additional details other than mentioning that the alleged incident happened in Sarasota, where Ziegler is from.

    Ziegler’s name does not appear in the redacted document that was released publicly, but it was provided by the police department after NBC News specifically asked for a complaint filed against Ziegler, who did not return a request seeking comment.
    ..........................
    Ziegler and his wife are among the state’s most prominent Republicans. He leads the statewide Republican Party and Bridget Ziegler is a well-known school choice advocate who helped start Moms for Liberty, a group focused on getting conservative women elected to school boards across the country.
    ...............................
    “Word of the criminal complaint and sexual escapades of the Zieglers has been spreading like wildfire over the last 24 hours,” a Republican operative said. “It’s all politicos from Sarasota to Tallahassee have been talking about.”

    Florida GOP Chair, Whose Wife Co-Founded Moms for Liberty, Accused of Sexual Assault amid Ménage à Trois Scandal

    Florida GOP Chair, Whose Wife Co-Founded Moms for Liberty, Accused of Sexual Assault amid Ménage à Trois Scandal


    His accuser claims that she'd been in a consenting three-way sexual relationship with Christian and his wife, Bridget Ziegler, for some time leading up to the incident, according to the Florida Center for Government Accountability.


    While Christian chairs the Florida GOP, Bridget sits on Sarasota County's school board and co-founded the far-right group Moms for Liberty, an organization that advocates against any mention of LGBTQ rights, race, ethnicity, critical race theory, or discrimination in school curriculum. Though no longer with Moms for Liberty, Bridget was one of the driving forces behind Florida's divisive "Don't Say Gay" legislation.

    They sure preach their hate in gay … but they sure love their gay hook-ups. So predictably hypocritical. The DeSantis MAGAs are hilarious.

    So, apparently "bi" is OK, they just can't say "gay."

    Not to make light of sexual assault, but CZ is apparently a vampire


    According to ABC Action News’ reporting on the search warrant affidavit, investigators learned on Oct. 27 that Ziegler was sending messages to the victim via Instagram. Police then began monitoring and recording the messages.

    “During the messaging, Christian continuously asked how he could help, and the victim responded, ‘You caused this. You can’t help me,’” the affidavit reads, according to ABC Action News. “Christian repeatedly referred to the victim as his friend in an effort to minimize the situation, he would deflect by trying to change the subject when confronted.”

    The affidavit then recounts a series of phone calls between Christian Ziegler and the victim in which she expressed that Ziegler had “hurt her” and that she was deeply upset at what had happened during the encounter. In one call, the victim told Ziegler directly that he had sexually assaulted her.

    “Those are big words, please don’t, no I didn’t,” Ziegler responded, according to the excerpt of the affidavit posted online by ABC Action News. “You invited me in, that’s it. I did not at all, and I never want you to feel that way.”

    Sexual assault aside they do admit to having a threesome with her while at the same time leading the charge on anti-LGBT stuff. Of course
