The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ Moms for Liberty group could soon be ousted from a Florida school board over a sexual assault investigation into her husband.

The Sarasota County School Board will vote Tuesday on a resolution asking her to resign, because the panel cannot directly remove her, and chairwoman Karen Rose said she was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the rape allegation against husband Christian Ziegler, who’s the state Republican Party chairman, and the couple’s admissions about having a three-way sexual encounter with the accuser, reported WFOR-TV.

    I dearly hope she decides not to resign. I want her to be yet another burden on the GOP and Moms for Liberty and everyone else that propped this fascist shit up.

    …three-way sexual encounter with the accuser

    It was my understanding this was going for a couple years with the same women. Did that information change?

      Possibly. The other parts I’ve heard are that the accuser preferred the wife. On the occasion in question the wife was unable to make it. Husband showed up anyways and allegedly raped her. I say allegedly here as I also heard he took video of the encounter that could support her consenting to the encounter.

      This doesn’t excuse the rank hypocrisy over LGBT issues, but might not be rape. I’m waiting on more evidence one way or the other. And it’s possible it’s already known, I just haven’t been assed to look into it further.

        He apparently recorded each 3 way, but “couldn’t find” the rape video on google drive.

          By the new precedent set by Marge, these videos should probably be entered into the Congressional record along with Hunter’s dong.

    Even if the allegations are false, they’re part of an anti-LGBTQ movement/reaction while having a history of engaging in non-male-female sex. Why would they keep her on regardless? What’s going to be their movement, “Only We Can Have Girl-On-Girl Action”?

    Also, I’m betting that this investigation will lead to further uncovering of hypocrisy in the school board and other associated organizations. I’m assuming this couple isn’t just having secret threesomes with one specific person. They might be known for being swingers because they are socialites and fish around for sexual partners. The school board can’t get rid of this couple fast enough, while she’s holding them hostage. The Florida GOP is doing damage control and coming up with distractions and accusations to rile their base’s anger at someone else. Apparently, they have connections to DeSantis. What if that fart knocker is somehow involved in this? This is looking like it might be a juicy story.

    Also, this

    Before the meeting began, a crowd gathered outside to protest against Bridget Ziegler remaining on the board…

    The protesters carried signs reading “Bridget Must Go” and “Don’t Say 3-Way.” They handed out T-shirts with the words “Real Women Aren’t Transphobic Bigots,” an apparent reference to a Ziegler social media post that shows her wearing a T-shirt with the words “Real women — aren’t men.”

    Those protesters are pretty clever lol

    Every time I see that name “Moms for Liberty” I think of how everything is exactly upside down in the la-la-land of the teabaggers.

    They despise actual liberty. At least the Northern type of liberty, and what normal people consider actual liberty. And they embrace the Southern notion of “liberty”, meaning the “liberty” to rule over others.
