Rep. Matt Gaetz calls on Florida GOP chair accused of rape to resign
Rep. Matt Gaetz has called for Republican Party of Florida Chair Christian Ziegler to resign due to rape allegations. Gaetz’s comments mark a shift from his previous stance, indicating that support for Ziegler is waning among politicians. Sarasota police are currently investigating the allegations against Ziegler, who is accused of raping a woman he and his wife were planning to have a consensual sexual encounter with. Other prominent Florida politicians, including Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, have also called for Ziegler’s resignation. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Florida Republican Party is considering disciplinary actions, including withholding Ziegler’s salary and reducing his role in the party.
