The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group Moms for Liberty seems to have resigned from her most recent position in the wake of rape allegations against her husband and her own involvement in a same-sex sex scandal.

Since August 2022, Bridget Ziegler has served as the director of the School Board Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists. Ziegler is no longer listed in the role on the website, and someone new appears to have been named in her place. Bridget Ziegler is also facing calls for her to resign from the Sarasota School Board.

At the same time, the Florida GOP appears to be working to expel or censure Bridget Ziegler’s husband, Christian Ziegler, from his role as chairman of the state’s Republican party. Gov. Ron DeSantis ® has called on Christian Ziegler to resign, but he has refused, maintaining that the rape allegations against him are false.

    Because your choice of news sources selects for a certain political group.

    Remember that Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky alleged behaviour by Bill Clinton that would easily be considered sexual assault if not rape nowadays; Anthony Weiner went to prison for sexting a 15-year old. There is ton more examples of Democratic politicians that meet the same (low) standard of evidence that is shown in this article, in fact they probably mostly exist in local news articles.
