Gaetz urged Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler while speaking to NBC News after speaking as a surrogate for former President Donald Trump in Iowa.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., joined the chorus of prominent politicians calling on Republican Party of Florida Chair Christian Ziegler to resign over allegations of rape.

“We’re at the posture where we would be better served with different leadership in the Republican Party and I think it’s time to move on and select a different leader,” Gaetz told NBC News after delivering remarks as a surrogate for former President Donald Trump in Iowa.

“I do think he should step aside,” he added.

Gaetz’s comments are a shift, underscoring that Ziegler is losing more support. Last week, Gaetz told Florida Politics and Politico he thought it was too soon to weigh in.

    the sex act is brief in duration and the victim can be heard telling Ziegler to climax in her mouth rather than on her new shirt

    Idk, she could be just saying if you’re going to rape me, at least don’t fuck up my new shirt. This isn’t evidence to me and I doubt anything that asshole says anyway.

    Also, security video shows that he knocked on the door and was let in. The accuser’s affidavit claims that she opened the door to walk her dog and he was out there, came in and raped her.

    Again, do we know any of this? This sounds a lot like trying to get ahead of the story.
