Florida Republican leaders vote to strip authority from party chairman accused of rape
NBCJUL 2023
Although former Pres. Trump has yet to weigh in on Ziegler’s future, it’s probably best he step aside or be removed so he doesn’t serve as a distraction in the crucial state of Florida. With pretty much every Republican heavyweight telling him to go, Ziegler should take the hint. Allegations this serious cannot be taken lightly, and his resignation is best for the party and the victim.
The hypocrisy of the Zieglers seemingly knows no bounds. Beyond the criminal charges — which should be at minimum worth removal of Christian Ziegler from his post — their acknowledged interactions with this woman are coming to light at a time when Bridget Ziegler is actively pushing policies that are discriminatory against the LGBTQ+ community. If Republicans are hoping this wouldn’t be a distraction, it’s too late.
