Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler has told his party he’ll accept $2 million if they want him to quit, evidently feeling confident enough to shake them down after the rape accusation against him almost certainly collapsed last week, FloridaPolitics.com reports on more fun in the Sunshine State.
One source told Florida Politics the party said they’re in no position to pay out that amount of money and another said the process of removing him is already underway though there’s no consensus on how long it could take. Worse, whatever momentum that still exists is likely to be sapped if and when law enforcement or prosecutors make a public call on whether they’re going to charge Ziegler.
