The Republican Party of Florida on Sunday suspended Chairman Christian Ziegler and called on him to resign during an emergency meeting as he faces demands to step down while officials investigate a rape allegation against him.
“Christian Ziegler has engaged in conduct that renders him unfit for the office,” the party’s censure motion against Ziegler said, according to a picture of the document posted by Lee County GOP Chairman Michael Thompson.
Ziegler is accused of raping a woman with whom he and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, previously had a consensual relationship according to police records obtained by the Associated Press.
