Amid sexual assault allegations against Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, a sex tape of his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, with a woman has been recovered by the police, according to a non-profit Florida watchdog group.

The Florida Center for Government Accountability report clarified it is not known if the woman in the newly-surfaced video is the same person accusing the GOP chair of sexual assault.

The woman accusing Christian Ziegler told the police she’s had a longstanding sexual relationship with both Christian and Bridget Ziegler.

Bridget Ziegler is a member of Moms for Liberty, a conservative and known anti-LGBTQ nonprofit, and a member of the Sarasota School Board — whose members voted to call for her resignation earlier last week.

    The best response that I’ve seen to this so far is this video of a former student speaking to the school board:

    Bridget, our first ever interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County school student. You are a reminder that some people view politics as a service to others while some view it as an opportunity for themselves. On this board you have spent public funds that could have been used to increase teacher pay to change our district lines for political gain, remove books from schools, target trans and queer children, erase black history, and elevate your political career, all while sending your children to private schools because you do not believe in the public school system that you’ve been leading. My question is why doesn’t an elected official using our money to harm our students and our teachers for her gain seem to matter as much for us as her having a threesome does? Bridget Ziegler, 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.

    Every Republican accusation is an admission.

      Agreed. I highly doubt these people really believe the shit they’re trying to sell. They just know if you’re going to grift, the best way to do it is on the right.

      • I reckon most of them do believe their vitriol. Some number of them may be pure opportunists who seize on the culture war nonsense for personal gain but are not true believers; however, in my opinion the vast majority are not just putting on an act.

          It’s comforting to imagine that people with insane views don’t actually believe them because we’d like to think nobody could actually think like that. The problem is, they do. Lots of them. Just like “birds aren’t real,” it’s easy to imagine no one actually believes that obvious troll but many do! It’s the same tendency that leads us to picture Nazis as inhuman robots instead of actual people who believed that shit. The problem is that rosey view of humanity leaves us open for that shit to happen again.

    Fkn lol, of course she did. Side note: we should really be looking at all pizza shops in the DC area for a republican-led torture cult that rapes kids and extracts their adrenochrome.

    I don’t care that she’s bi, but I do hope her hypocrisy ruins the rest of her life.

    There literally aren’t enough bad things that can happen to #christofascists.

      I’m going to get a priest to bless the rains down in America and that’ll baptize the entire landmass. There, now everyone is “christian” and they should be OK with people being gay.

      /s There’s like 3 terrible ways this is an awful idea.

        Does this mean that being gay is okay down in Africa, since the rain was blessed? Asking for a friend.

    Kind of a nice change of pace to see a closeted homophobe be a woman this time.

    How are they so incredibly consistent!

    I mean every time there’s a prominent anti-lbgt figure they’re almost always found diddling the same sex!

      There is no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids the same sex than by writing a song about it leading a group hating them!

        That’s why I hate Bruce Springsteen. Can’t read these lyrics without getting a bit nauseated.

        Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm I got a bad desire Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire

        Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no I can take you higher Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire

      You think this ugly, homophobic pissant would produce good material? There’s plenty of lesbian/bisexual porn out there starring much better and talented people than this human waste of space.

    You know, I hate myself too. I don’t use it as an excuse to hold other people down, though. Think about it, k.
