Heels-wearing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who probably isn’t in a good mood after getting his balls handed to him by California Governor Gavin Newsom in their much-hyped Fox News debate on Thursday night, on Friday said Sunshine State GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler should step down after the second woman in his three-way sexual marriage that also includes Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Zielger fell apart with a criminal sexual battery complaint, FloridaPolitics.com reports
“I think he should step aside and think he should attend to that,” DeSantis told ABC News. “He’s innocent until proven guilty, but we just can’t have a party Chair that is under that type of scrutiny.”
DeSantis did not say Ziegler’s a sick fuck who has no place leading a state party dedicated to using government power to promote traditional family values and all that shit. It’s true Ziegler’s merely been accused of rape (Florida statute terms it as “sexual battery”) which of course he’s innocent until proven guilty. But it’s abundantly clear that nobody – DeSantis included – seems to be contesting that the three-way relationship was not real, which raises the question of how there’s no sort of written or unwritten morality clause coming into effect here and that he should step down anyway irrespective of the criminal case. Why isn’t that part of the “scrutiny” a consideration?
