Florida GOP Chairman & DeSantis Ally Accused of Sexual Battery By Alleged Ménage à Trois Partner
The National Pulse ^ | 12/01/2023 | WILLIAM UPTON

Florida Republican Party chairman and Governor DeSantis ally Christian Ziegler is reported to be under law enforcement investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department claiming he raped her. The Florida Center for Government Accountability says a police report – while heavily redacted – includes accusations of “rape” and “sexual battery.”

The complaint, filed on October 4th, states the incident allegedly occurred inside the woman’s home in Sarasota. According to the woman, she had been a participant in a long-term and consensual sexual relationship with both Ziegler and his wife Bridget – a co-founder of the ‘Moms for Liberty’ group also close with the Florida Governor.. The report indicates Mr. Ziegler and his accuser were alone at her residence when the alleged rape and sexual battery took place.

Uncorroborated reports state the Sarasota Police Department executed a search warrant for the Florida Republican Party chairman’s smartphone. The woman also claims Ziegler often filmed their dalliances with both her and his wife.

The Sarasota Police Department has confirmed a complaint was filed against Ziegler, but declined to confirm additional details, stating it is an “active and ongoing investigation.” As of yet, no criminal charges have been filed.

Ziegler, a former Sarasota County Commission, was elected to lead Florida’s Republican Party earlier this year. Christian and Bridget Ziegler both exert serious influence over Florida Republican politics and maintain close ties with the Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. Ziegler heaped praise on DeSantis after Republicans candidates in Florida enjoyed wide-spread success during the 2022 mid-term elections, saying, “The credit goes to our chief executive, because he’s kind of our chief brand officer.”

The National Pulse previously reported top DeSantis fundraiser, donor, and bundler Brooke Waltzer appeared in a raunchy advertisement for South Florida strip club “Vixens,” and has promoted a “sexy party” known as the “Groove Cruise”.

This is unfortunate for the RDS camp, but I don’t see it having anything personally to do with RDS.

LOL, I didn’t say he didn’t know the guy.

The media did the same thing with Trump. Just because you have your pic taken with someone doesn’t mean you are in on everything the person pictured with you does.

AND, the press would NEVER use a photo that could lead some to think this is the trio written about. 😁👍

I kinda think it explains how/why the GOP-e always stabs their voters in the back while giving the Dems everything they want. Don't you?

BRIDGET is VERY CONSERVATIVE......or at least we thought she was. This is a kick in the gut.

If there is hard evidence, fair enough.

Allegations get made all the time.

Nah, this isn’t coming again to Trump. He has plenty of other stuff to deal with.

This is younger candidate stuff.

I agree
I know a couple from here who moved to Duval county for the “lifestyle”

Swinging is so strange

Last thing I want is to watch my wife writhing and moaning shagged by ginormous endowed Adonis (s)

I don’t think u come back from that so easy lol

Hot wives get gang banged and their husbands get the fat ones by default

What makes swinging really tick though is it’s women driven by the wives who have a fancy for the other women or woman
That’s how the half dozen swingers I’ve known explain it all to me

It’s not my business but why get married if you covet variety so much or group action?

Stay single and get a caz girlfriend who digs it too

One ex swinger lady I know told me point blank “some fantasies are best left as fantasies”

I saw this go around three times in SoCal. The first was “Open Marriage” in the early ‘70s, the second were swingers in the 80s, and the third was “the Lifestyle” in the 2000s, which again was swinging.

I was the cynical reactionary who told my friends that they were nuts and this would end in disaster, which of course it did. I’d say “what about jealousy?” and I was informed that they had evolved beyond such petty booshie emotions. It’s amazing the nonsense that people can talk themselves into.

In my hierarchy of depravity swinging is definitely worse than cheating. It seems more animalistic. They can be hooking up simply according to whose keys they draw out of a bowl. At least cheaters might actually be driven by something resembling emotion. This is probably like rating the circles of hell when you get down to it. Dante meets the Tinder App.
