Controversy Surrounding Florida GOP Boss's Wife and School Board Meeting Attacks

Bridget Ziegler, co-founder of Moms for Liberty and wife of Florida GOP chairman Christian Ziegler, has reportedly left her position at the conservative Leadership Institute following a three-way sex scandal and criminal investigation involving her husband. The Leadership Institute removed her name from its website, and Bridget Ziegler's departure comes after allegations that her husband raped a woman with whom they had engaged in a threesome. LGBTQ advocates and community members are calling for the couple to resign from their public positions due to the hypocrisy of their anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric. Christian Ziegler is facing calls to step down as the state party chair, and an emergency meeting has been called to address the fallout from the rape accusations.
