Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler claims innocence, will not resign over rape allegation

[SouthernIslander]

Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler says he will not resign over a woman's allegation that he raped her, telling supporters in an email that he is innocent.

Ziegler sent the statement to state Republicans on Saturday, saying that he and his wife, Bridget Ziegler, are being targeted because they are "such loud political voices," according to The Associated Press.

"We have a country to save and I am not going to let false allegations of a crime put that mission on the bench as I wait for this process to wrap up," wrote Ziegler, 40. A longtime GOP activist, Ziegler ascended to the state party's top post in February.

According to text messages cited in the affidavit, the woman and the Zieglers had planned to again have group S*x on Oct. 2, but the woman backed out after Bridget Ziegler "couldn't make it."

Wait! So, I’m not one to judge others for their sexual preferences and things of that nature, especially people outside my own faith, but doesn’t he and his wife, cofounder of Moms for Liberty, champion/campaign for “Christian/family values”? So at the very least this is a “for me, not for thee” type of situation…another Jerry Falwell Jr if you will. This is assuming he’s innocent of rape or sexual assault, but honestly wouldn’t put that past him either.

In text and phone conversations monitored by investigators, Ziegler offered the woman "financial help" before becoming suspicious that they were being recorded.

In a Nov. 2 interview with detectives, Ziegler said the S*x was consensual and that he had recorded it. He said he deleted the video, then recovered it after the rape allegation surfaced.

Anyone else find it telling that he was concerned when he thought he was being recorded by investigators but had no issue recording the woman he allegedly raped.

This whole thing reads as he hired a hooker for a 3-some with his wife and when he showed up alone the hooker cancelled and he thinks he was fine to assault her because he was a returning customer and "he paid her"

Is anyone surprised? They think because they claim to be Christians that people will believe them.
