Party demands Christian Ziegler’s resignation after he was accused of raping woman he and wife had a prior relationship with

White man with blue suit and red tie. The Republican party of Florida suspended chairman Christian Ziegler and demanded his resignation during an emergency meeting Sunday, adding to calls by governor Ron DeSantis and other top officials for him to step down as police investigate a rape accusation against him.

Ziegler is accused of raping a woman with whom he and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, had a prior consensual sexual relationship, according to police records.

    You think R’s would force him to resign if the allegations weren’t credible? They openly support and defend known pedos ffs.

      People love to fire people based off of an accusation, no matter how credible or not it is, just so the group can protect their PR.

        Do you mean like when trump was found guilty of raping that woman in NY? They’re going to have him as their front runner.

          Or commiting insurrection (see the judge in Colorado who’s too afraid of Trump’s mob to enact the 14th Amendment).
