Amid sexual assault allegations against Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, a sex tape of his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, with a woman has been recovered by the police, according to a non-profit Florida watchdog group.

The Florida Center for Government Accountability report clarified it is not known if the woman in the newly-surfaced video is the same person accusing the GOP chair of sexual assault.

The woman accusing Christian Ziegler told the police she's had a longstanding sexual relationship with both Christian and Bridget Ziegler.

Bridget Ziegler is a member of Moms for Liberty, a conservative and known anti-LGBTQ nonprofit, and a member of the Sarasota School Board — whose members voted to call for her resignation earlier last week.

The best response that I've seen to this so far is this video of a former student speaking to the school board:

Bridget, our first ever interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County school student. You are a reminder that some people view politics as a service to others while some view it as an opportunity for themselves. On this board you have spent public funds that could have been used to increase teacher pay to change our district lines for political gain, remove books from schools, target trans and queer children, erase black history, and elevate your political career, all while sending your children to private schools because you do not believe in the public school system that you've been leading. My question is why doesn't an elected official using our money to harm our students and our teachers for her gain seem to matter as much for us as her having a threesome does? Bridget Ziegler, you do not deserve to be on the Sarasota County School Board but you do not deserve to be removed from it for having a threesome. That defeats the lesson we've been trying to teach you which is that a politician's job is to serve their community, not to police personal lives. So, to be extra clear: Bridget, you deserve to be fired from your job because you are terrible at your job, not because you had sex with a woman.
