The Florida Republican Party voted on Sunday to strip Chairman Christian Ziegler of his legislative power and sharply curb his salary to a mere $1 following the emergence of rape allegations earlier this month.
A search warrant affidavit released in the case on Friday revealed that Ziegler and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, engaged "in a three-way sexual encounter more than a year before the incident." Right-wing group Moms for Liberty touts itself as a parental rights advocacy organization, pushes for staunchly conservative candidates to be elected on school boards, and opposes references to race and LGBTQ+ identity in the classroom, often openly calling for book bans.
