You'd think if they cared about these credible allegations, they would care about some of their candidates credible allegations.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, and other Republican leaders have called on Ziegler to step down, but he has refused.

“Florida’s one of the most important states for the Republicans and we have to continue to bring home victories, especially for Rick Scott and the top of the ticket with Trump as our nominee, eventually.”

Under DeSantis, Florida has stripped rights away from LGBTQ+ Floridians and banned instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in schools.

Bridget Ziegler also was appointed by DeSantis last year to the board of the governing district for Walt Disney World.

DeSantis and the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature last year took control of the district in retaliation after Disney publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades.

The Sarasota Police Department is investigating the woman’s accusation that Ziegler raped her at her apartment in October.
