Christian Ziegler, the Florida GOP Chair and husband of Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation over allegations of sexual battery by a woman who claims to have been involved in a long-term sexual relationship with both of the Zieglers. The investigation was first reported by the Florida Center for Governmental Accountability’s news division The Florida Trident.

According to a police complaint obtained by the Trident, and sources who spoke to the publication, the woman alleges that Christian Ziegler raped her on Oct. 2 while the pair were alone in her home in Sarasota, Florida. The police report mentions the phrases “raped,” “ sexual assault allegation,” and “sexually battered,” but is otherwise heavily redacted.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation told the Trident that police officers executed a search warrant on Ziegler’s phone, and the GOP Chair is alleged to have recorded sexual encounters between himself, his wife, and the woman. Charges have not yet been filed against Ziegler, and the incident remains under investigation.

    Yes, I did have to add that into the title. The ultra-conservative, can’t have anything that even mentions LGBTQ, group founder is having a regular threesome.

    But of course they are. Anybody watch Handmaid’s Tale? It’s always ok when those in power do it.

    Is anyone really surprised here?

    Much like the church, for the GOP this is pretty standard what’s good for them isn’t allowed for anyone else…

      I had to read it three times. That’s density of info.

      Honestly not surprised though. The loudest conservatives are really telling on themselves.

    I mean, going super conservative with the Caligula vibes there. Kicking it old school, 40 A.D. style.

    It really never fails with these cunts. I’ll never understand how you can live in a world of hypocrisy.

      Seriously. Like over here on the left you can just be bi and poly and it’s cool. My gf has a husband and a girlfriend and it’s cool. Though you can’t be a rapist so it makes sense they’d be republicans, that’s the lifestyle choice republicans support
