In a shocking turn of events, the Moms for Liberty Pennsylvania chapter has decided to disassociate itself from the national organization due to the scandal surrounding the husband of its Florida co-founder. Christian Ziegler, the 40-year-old chairman of the Florida GOP, is facing serious allegations of rape after a woman accused him of assaulting her in a 'ménage a trois' with him and his wife, Bridget Ziegler.

The Sarasota police are currently investigating the claims made by the unnamed woman, who alleged that Ziegler attacked her after she withdrew her consent upon learning that his wife would not be present. However, Ziegler has maintained his innocence and claimed that he and his wife are being targeted because they are prominent political figures.

Despite Ziegler's denial, the scandal has had a profound impact on Moms for Liberty. The Pennsylvania chapter, led by Clarissa Paige, has decided to break away from the national organization in light of the controversy. Paige, known as a dedicated mother, wife, and community leader, stated that it would be challenging to advocate for parental rights with the co-founder embroiled in such a scandal.

The search warrant revealed that Bridget Ziegler admitted to the police that she and her husband did engage in a sexual encounter with the accuser last year. While Ziegler admitted to having sex with the woman, he insisted that it was consensual. According to police documents, Ziegler claimed to have filmed the encounter but later deleted the video, saving it on a Google Drive.

Ziegler, who assumed the role of Florida Republican Party chairman in February, has maintained his position and refused to resign despite calls from Governor Ron DeSantis to step down. However, no charges have been filed against Ziegler, although the police investigation remains open.

The scandal has also attracted attention due to the couple's involvement in politics. Bridget Ziegler is an elected member of the Sarasota County school board and played a role in shaping the Parental Rights in Education Bill, known as the 'Don't Say Gay' law, introduced by Governor DeSantis.

The rape accusation against Ziegler has sparked criticism from Democratic politicians and gay rights leaders who accuse the couple of hypocrisy. This is particularly significant as Moms for Liberty, co-founded by Bridget Ziegler, has actively campaigned against LGBTQ+ causes alongside DeSantis and the Florida GOP.

The Florida Center for Government Accountability obtained the police report and search warrant affidavits, making the rape allegations public. The accuser, who has known Ziegler for two decades, claimed that she texted Ziegler expressing hesitancy after Bridget backed out of their initial agreement. She alleges that Ziegler later entered her apartment and raped her.

As the investigation progresses, Ziegler's supporters continue to voice their belief in his innocence, while critics argue that the allegations raise significant concerns about the couple's political influence. The disassociation of the Moms for Liberty Pennsylvania chapter from the national organization marks a significant development in a scandal that has rocked the GOP and its supporters.
