A call for the resignation of Bridget Ziegler, a member of the Sarasota school board and co-founder of the conservative group Moms for Liberty, was made by her fellow board members this week. The demand revolves around the investigation surrounding her husband, Christian Ziegler, Florida's GOP Chair, who is being accused of rape. Though no charges have been filed and Bridget is not under any criminal allegations, the couple’s private life has caught public attention.
Per an affidavit, the woman accusing Christian claims there was a planned sexual encounter with both Zieglers on October 2nd. While Bridget backed out, and hence the woman, Christian reportedly still arrived at the woman's residence. Allegedly, the woman clearly stated her incapacity to consent due to alcohol, but Christian proceeded to have sex with her. Despite the accusation, Christian maintains the encounter's consensual nature and declined resignation calls, asserting his coming exoneration.
