Republicans are also trying to remove her husband from his leadership role in the party.

The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group Moms for Liberty seems to have resigned from her most recent position in the wake of rape allegations against her husband and her own involvement in a same-sex sex scandal.

Since August 2022, Bridget Ziegler has served as the director of the School Board Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists. Ziegler is no longer listed in the role on the website, and someone new appears to have been named in her place. Bridget Ziegler is also facing calls for her to resign from the Sarasota School Board.

At the same time, the Florida GOP appears to be working to expel or censure Bridget Ziegler’s husband, Christian Ziegler, from his role as chairman of the state’s Republican party. Gov. Ron DeSantis ® has called on Christian Ziegler to resign, but he has refused, maintaining that the rape allegations against him are false.

    So strange that this lady has 3 jobs, all that pay well into the six figures, all 3 either given to her directly by a politician, or directly funded by politcal donors. Even her elected position was funded to the nines by dark money groups.

    Grifting via hate sure is profitable.

      Why do you think Trump is so desperate to get reelected? Not only is it a get rich quick with no effort- it’s a get out of jail free pass.
