Rubio Finally Calls For Florida GOP Chair To Resign

Florida Politics reports:

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio says if Christian Ziegler won’t resign as Republican Party of Florida Chair, he should be removed. That means every statewide elected official in Florida, all Republicans, have now called for Ziegler to step down.

Gov. Ron DeSantis called for Ziegler to resign immediately after news broke he was under investigation for rape. Since then, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, a longtime ally of Ziegler, has also called for the party leader to step aside.

Every member of the Florida Cabinet and leaders of the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature also joined the call for his departure, and so has U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, who gave Ziegler his start in politics on his campaign and congressional staff.

The conduct the Florida GOP Chair has now himself admitted to makes it impossible for him to continue in his position

If he refuses to unconditionally step down he should be immediately suspended & then permanently replaced at the quarterly state party meeting next month.
