TODAY: Florida GOP Votes On Removing Chairman

The Associated Press reports:

The Republican Party of Florida is scheduled to hold a special meeting Monday to vote on removing Chairman Christian Ziegler and select a new leader as police investigate a rape accusation against him.

Beyond the rape accusation, there is another troublesome element for the party. Under DeSantis, Florida has stripped rights away from LGBTQ+ Floridians and banned instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in schools.

Ziegler and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, have admitted to police that they previously had a consensual sexual relationship with Christian Ziegler’s accuser.

Christian and Bridget Ziegler had been rising stars of the Florida Republicans, promoting conservative family values. Then came revelations of a threesome with a woman, who alleges she was later raped by Mr Ziegler. https://t.co/1NCEhKP2vX
