Party demands Christian Ziegler’s resignation after he was accused of raping woman he and wife had a prior relationship with

White man with blue suit and red tie. The Republican party of Florida suspended chairman Christian Ziegler and demanded his resignation during an emergency meeting Sunday, adding to calls by governor Ron DeSantis and other top officials for him to step down as police investigate a rape accusation against him.

Ziegler is accused of raping a woman with whom he and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, had a prior consensual sexual relationship, according to police records.

    Christian Ziegler has not been charged with a crime and says he is innocent, contending the encounter was consensual.

    He doesn’t deny having sex outside of marriage.

    The republican party often won’t shut up about “family values” and related.

    The couple have been outspoken opponents of LGBTQ+ rights, and their relationship with another woman has sparked criticism and accusations of hypocrisy.

    Yep. Yep.

    I hope he hangs. And his wife, too. Scumbags.
