Fentrice Driskell (D) warns keeping Christian Zielger as Florida GOP Chair would send 'chilling message' to women

Florida’s highest ranking House Democrat agrees with the state GOP’s top elected officials: Republican Party of Florida Chair Christian Ziegler must go.

On Sunday, House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell joined a growing chorus of Sunshine State officials demanding that Ziegler step down amid accusations of rape.

To not do so, she said, would be telling roughly half the state’s residents that justice for sexual crimes against them is less important to Republicans than maintaining powerful political positions.

“Christian Ziegler must resign,” Driskell said on X. “To not step away would send a chilling message to the women of Florida about how the Republican Party views sexual assault.”

The Grand Old Patriarchy is the pro-rape, anti-women party. If they had cut ties with T**** after the infamous Access Hollywood dropped, MAYBE they would have a scintilla of credibility. Maybe.

type of scandal. The smaller the Party gets, the more radicalized their leadership will become.

Women need to learn their place. In the kitchen, subservient to men, incubators to obey and not speak unless spoken too. That's the RepubQcan ideal.
