Florida GOP Leader, a Moms for Liberty Founder, and Allegations of Group Sex and Rape

(Mother Jones) Where to even begin? The investigative journalism outlet Florida Center for Government Accountability has a story today alleging that Christian Ziegler, the chair of the Florida GOP, sexually assaulted a woman. This would be enough to attract attention, but this woman was allegedly having a ménage à trois with him and his wife Bridget, the erstwhile crusading chair of the Sarasota school board and a co-founder of the parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty.

The accusations in the story—which Mother Jones could not independently verify—are wild, to say the least:

The woman, according to sources close to the investigation, alleged that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident. The incident under investigation by Sarasota police occurred when Christian Ziegler and the woman were alone at the woman’s house, without Bridget Ziegler present, the sources conveyed.

Sources also corroborated that a search warrant was executed on Christian Ziegler’s cell phone and that investigators continue to conduct a forensic examination of the electronic device. Christian Ziegler is also alleged to have secretly videotaped the sexual encounters between the couple and the woman, sources said.


The story links to a police report obtained through a Freedom of Information Request for information involving Christian Ziegler. Nearly every word of the report has been redacted except “raped” and “sexual assault complaint.”

If this scandal appeared in a book, it would certainly be banned by Moms for Liberty, which has called for sexually explicit material to be removed from school libraries, especially those that involve same-sex relationships of any kind. The group has been at the forefront of the movement to remove LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum from classrooms. ..........(more)

The GQP is the party of hypocritical criminals. And people keep electing them. American morons are the GQP supporters.

...they're having 3-way sex (presumably some lesbian or bi-activity, since there are 2 women involved) so they feel compelled to target the LGBT crowd.

So if you want to know what they are into, look at who or what they target.

And a shudder of sexual excitement ripples thru the GOP.

If a married couple engage in a threesome are both guilty of adultery? And what would Christians ban in a threesome? Would a foursome be going too far? Not far enough? Are books on Christian hypocrisy banned in Florida?
