Moms for Liberty founder leaves rightwing leadership role amid queer sex scandal and rape allegations

Republicans are also trying to remove her husband from his leadership role in the party.

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.

I'm just trying to process this. Do I have this right? Bridget Ziegler, one three founders of Moms for Liberty (a right wing extremist group trying to erase all references about queer people, discrimination, and racism from public schools), has consensual sex with women and her husband rapes them?

I mean, wow. Is she running for president or something?

IanSomnia,

I believe that is what is alleged. Thank you for the break down. It can be confusing to parse out.

Custoslibera,

Do you mean to tell me that a conservative was actually projecting their own self hatred onto others as a means of coping with their own identity crisis?

Well I for one am shocked.

RunningInRVA,

These closet LGBTQ+ conservatives do make for some interesting mental gymnastics when caught.

quinkin,

They forgot the golden rule for conservatives. Don’t get caught.

Burn_The_Right,

Maybe she can attend one of those homoerotic conversion therapy boot camps her club is so keen on.

xenu,

We should throw her a welcome to the club party. She's officially queer now and forever. No backsies!

Immersive_Matthew,

Just more evidence of how much projection goes on in that group.

Pratai,

Every accusation- a concession.

Lord_ToRA,

Did you mean ‘confession’?

Newguy,

Concession stand

Aleric,

I’ll take two chili dogs and a statutory rape flavored slushie.

crypticthree,

That’s just a normal grape slushy with lean and ghb added

mosiacmango,

So strange that this lady has 3 jobs, all that pay well into the six figures, all 3 either given to her directly by a politician, or directly funded by politcal donors. Even her elected position was funded to the nines by dark money groups.

Grifting via hate sure is profitable.

Pratai,

Why do you think Trump is so desperate to get reelected? Not only is it a get rich quick with no effort- it’s a get out of jail free pass.

Why is there a ®? Is that just a cheeky way of saying (R)?

It’s not in the article, so it might be some weird kbin/lemmy coding thing?

Newguy,

That is a hilarious chant they use
