Moms for Liberty co-founder embroiled in sex scandal confronted by activist demanding her removal

A Florida GOP leader’s alleged sexual assault left his wife, a Moms for Liberty co-founder, facing pressure to resign not “for having a threesome,” but “because you are terrible at your job…”

Maligning the Sunshine State’s 2022 Parental Rights in Education law reached new heights amid investigations into Florida Republican Party Chairman Christian Ziegler as a surfaced sex tape brought out calls of hypocrisy.

At the most recent Sarasota School Board meeting, member Bridget Ziegler, the chairman’s wife, was directly confronted over reports that she had engaged in sexual activity with a woman as leftists continued to conflate shielding kids from indoctrination with the behavior of consenting adults.

Included in the mix was another Ivy League activist-in-training, Harvard attendee Zander Moricz, who had previously crossed paths with Ziegler as a student in the Sarasota County school system and as a plaintiff in a lawsuit over the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” curriculum standards.

Moricz appeared at the Dec. 12 school board meeting where he addressed Ziegler directly, “Bridget, our first-ever interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from the Nationalist when I was a Sarasota County school student.”

After rattling off talking points about the GOP efforts in Florida to improve the education system, the activist asserted, “You do not deserve to be on the Sarasota County School Board, but you do not deserve to be removed from it for having a threesome.”

“That defeats the lesson we’ve been trying to teach you, which is that a politician’s job is to serve their community, not to police personal lives. So, to be extra clear, Bridget, you deserve to be fired from your job because you are terrible at your job, not because you had sex with a woman,” he added in a clip that has since gone viral.

As previously reported, GOP Chairman Ziegler had been asked to resign from his position by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the investigation into sexual misconduct continued. Emphasizing due process, the presidential hopeful had said, “I don’t see how he can continue with that investigation ongoing given the gravity of those situations, and so I think that he should, I think he should step aside.”

“He’s innocent ’til proven guilty, but we just can’t have a party chair that is under that type of scrutiny,” the governor had added.

Since then, police have obtained a video said to have been filmed by Ziegler that featured his wife and another woman. It remained unclear if that video featured the accuser. However, the Florida Center for Government Accountability indicated that the Moms for Liberty co-founder, who had been endorsed for her school board position by DeSantis, admitted to investigators that “she and her husband had a joint sexual encounter with the [accuser] more than a year ago.”

A police affidavit detailed that on the date of the alleged assault, the Zieglers and the woman had made plans for another encounter. After Bridget Ziegler’s availability fell through and the woman expressed “Sorry I was mostly in for her,” Christian Ziegler was said to have gone to the woman’s apartment anyway where he allegedly raped her.

The school board had voted in favor of recommending the removal of Bridget Ziegler as part of a non-binding resolution. She has refrained from commenting publicly on the threesome or the accusations against her husband.
