Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, husband of a Moms For Liberty cofounder, accused of sexual battery...

Christian Ziegler, Florida’s GOP chairman and husband of Sarasota County School Board member and Moms of Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department alleging sexual battery, according to multiple sources briefed on the investigation.

The woman alleged that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident, according to those sources. The incident under investigation by Sarasota police occurred when Christian Ziegler and the woman were alone at the woman’s house, without Bridget Ziegler present, the sources conveyed.

The Zieglers have risen in the ranks of GOP politics in recent years.
Sources also corroborated that a search warrant was executed on Christian Ziegler’s cell phone and that investigators continue to conduct a forensic examination of the electronic device.

The Trident requested the police incident report for the investigation on Sunday. The Sarasota City Attorney’s Office confirmed the existence of the report, but had not supplied it as of press time.

Mom's for what now?

Swinging?

Bi-sexual sex?

For thee, but not for thou.

Note, I see nothing wrong with those life choices.

It's the hypocrisy of course.

I can't think of any other reason a man would pursue a three-way sexual relationship with two women.

The reason evangelicals don't get upset about prominent evangelicals getting caught doing naughty stuff is because they believe that everyone is a sinner, but those who have "accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior" get to pray away any accountability in the hereafter -- it's only the Godless liberal lesbians and adulterers who will burn in hell. So it's not an incidental hypocrisy: it's a core tenet.

Does that mean the the other woman was only supposed to do lesbian things with her and is upset that the husband is getting nasty with her while she was not in the house?

because it can lead to sexual assault and battery. Dude would have been all about family values and consent if schools hadn't corrupted him.

but when I think of sexual battery, I can’t help but think about a vibrator’s power source. But then I’m not in a three way with a Mom’s for Liberty hypocritical puritan power couple.

- RepubQcan family values.
- Morality pushing Moms for Fascism wife.
- Sexual promiscuity and swinging.
- Obviously not dedicated to the sanctity of marriage.
- First name is even CHRISTIAN.

Sounds like material for late night talk show hosts or SNL Weekend Update.
