The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group Moms for Liberty seems to have resigned from her most recent position in the wake of rape allegations against her husband and her own involvement in a same-sex sex scandal.
Since August 2022, Bridget Ziegler has served as the director of the School Board Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists. Ziegler is no longer listed in the role on the website, and someone new appears to have been named in her place. Bridget Ziegler is also facing calls for her to resign from the Sarasota School Board.
At the same time, the Florida GOP appears to be working to expel or censure Bridget Ziegler’s husband, Christian Ziegler, from his role as chairman of the state’s Republican party. Gov. Ron DeSantis ® has called on Christian Ziegler to resign, but he has refused, maintaining that the rape allegations against him are false.
The insatiable need for power and wealth has warped these people beyond understanding.
Morality isn’t a term they personally understand, instead preferring to force/enforce a sick version of it on everyone else.
I hope they face every possible consequence of their actions, including poverty and jail.
Not everybody can be an atheist. When they ask where you morals come from if not from Jesus, its because they don’t have any. Some people really need Jesus.
I’ve met plenty of people who claimed their morals came from Jesus and were still assholes. I’ve also met plenty of people who claimed their morals came from Jesus, and still continued to be good persons once they lost their faith.
“My morals come from Jesus” is always a rationalization: for some of their hateful behavior, for others because they’re acting morally well out of instinct, but have been indoctrinated into attributing their behavior to religion.
This. Some people need a book and a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites to tell them to be a good person.
That’s fine, but let’s not wrap those moral guide lines in fantasy nonsense.
Jesus isn’t even the best source for morals though. If they need a moral guide there are better options.
