You’d think if they cared about these credible allegations, they would care about some of their candidates credible allegations.
I’m surprised they didn’t pick him as their next senate candidate. I thought they liked rapists now.
And here I thought being a rapist was considered a qualification for being party chairman of the GOP.
See? The problem is that he has to also provide “value”.
Provide value to GOP, and you can do a little rape.
grab ‘em by the pussy
Yet they still support Matt Gaetz…
And those other guys
They’re called “pastors.”
They can’t get rid of him, he’s their coke dealer
Are they removing him so they can promote him to the national squad?
It’s basically because they don’t put themselves in the position of possibly losing any kind of power. Removing this guy looks good on them, and Florida is so solidly red at this point due to them fucking with the voting process that they have no worries. (Remember, EVERY accusation the Republicans have made, is a confession - Voter fraud is their big accusation right now…)
Part of the reason Republicans try so hard to give excuses for house seats, and senate seats, is because if they were to call for those expulsions, it would lose them a vote. They don’t give a fuck about being righteous or not, they care about POWER.
I can only assume the vote to remove him failed.
I probably should have posted the first paragraph of the article instead of my own quip about it but this is one of those broken clocks being right once in a while situations. They actually voted him out.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Republican Party of Florida ousted Chairman Christian Ziegler in a special vote on Monday as police investigate a rape accusation against him, a vote that came the week before Gov. Ron DeSantis competes in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential caucus
That depends on whether he “accepted” the vote. See: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/michigan-republicans-set-vote-chair-karamos-removal-promises-106154350
Just another truckload of evidence on the mountain that is republiQans-shouldn’t-be-a-real-thing, much less in power, and yet . . . here we are. Still.
Y’all convinced propaganda works yet? Anyone still buying the ol’ “liberal media” thing?
You love to see them reap what they sow!
They only removed him because he can’t fundraise.
Party of rich assholes going broke over too much fleecing the campaign funds to line their pockets. Classic.
Only the cult leader is infallible. The rules do not apply to him. They only apply to the cult members.
“…and the top of the ticket with Trump as our nominee” - said the guy Ziegler replaced. I bet that made DeSantis feel good.
He’s just a scapegoat for the rest of the rapists.
A very small part of me wonders how close the vote was.
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.
The original article contains 514 words, the summary contains 148 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Will they remove him so they can promote him to a higher office?
Is it me, or is that font just a hair away from Comic Sans?
