Moms for Liberty, a national right-wing advocacy group, was born in Florida as a response to Covid-19 school closures and mask mandates. But it quickly became just as well known for pushing policies branded as anti-L.G.B.T.Q. by opponents.
So when one of its founders, Bridget Ziegler, recently told the police that she and her husband, who is under criminal investigation for sexual assault, had a consensual sexual encounter with another woman, the perceived disconnect between her public stances and private life fueled intense pressure for her to resign from the Sarasota County School Board.
“Most of our community could not care less what you do in the privacy of your own home, but your hypocrisy takes center stage,” said Sally Sells, a Sarasota resident and the mother of a fifth-grader, told Ms. Ziegler during a tense school board meeting this week. Ms. Ziegler, whose husband has denied wrongdoing, said little and did not resign.
...
John Fredericks, a Trump ally in Virginia, said the causes that Moms for Liberty became most known for supporting — policies banning books it deemed pornographic, curtailing the teaching of L.G.B.T.Q. issues and policing how race is taught in schools — had fallen far from many voters’ top concerns.
“You closed schools, and people were upset about that. Schools are open now,” he said. “The Moms for Liberty really have to aim their fire on math and science and reading, versus focusing on critical race theory and drag queen story hours.”
He added: “It’s nonsense, all of it.”
The two other founders of Moms for Liberty, Tina Descovich and Tiffany Justice, have distanced themselves from Ms. Ziegler, saying she has not been an officer in the national organization since early 2021. Ms. Ziegler did not respond to a request for comment.

We forget that Moral Conservatives always were 'deplorables'
This story should get Bryce all hot and bothered. Welcome to modern Kkkristian Conservative Leadership... It's not just for Marjorie Green anymore.

Re: We forget that Moral Conservatives always were 'deplorables'
I just saw this too, on Politico: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/1 ... r-00132209
It sounds like there was a threesome, which given the political leanings would be hilarious if not for the assault allegations. Hopefully, there was no actual assault. I haven't read enough to determine if this is a Trumptard or not, but it seems like there should be enough party members that want this guy out unless the FIRED former president is in his back pocket.

I once had a threesome. Well, I got both my hands stuck in two different Pringles cans. Close enough.

In other news, 2 men were filmed having sex in the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing Room.
https://www.newsweek.com/senate-hearing ... nt-1853075The eight-second clip shows one almost completely naked man bent over an extended table, while a second seems to penetrate him from behind. The footage was published by Daily Caller. The outlet said that it had originally been "shared in a private group for gay men in politics." Newsweek has not independently verified the footage's authenticity.

So what? Two consenting junior staffers choose a poor location to hook up? I am betting they aren't homophobic.
Not quite the same as The Chairman of the Florida Republican Party having non-consenual sex after suckering hordes of idiots with his moral ramblings now is it?

Re: We forget that Moral Conservatives always were 'deplorables'
I'll use this opportunity to dunk on BOTH of you. The whataboutism is on 11 with BMW's original response, but goddamn, TCT takes the cake by suggesting it's a-ok that one guy is tooling another guy in the ass in government property, because "they aren't homophobic." What clued you in on the fact that they aren't homophobic?TC Talks wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 9:16 pmSo what? Two consenting junior staffers choose a poor location to hook up?

I once had sex in a Target changing room (in Ann Arbor actually). I wasn't stupid enough to video it. They got caught, they were fired. My point is that they were not marching around proclamating moral outrage about books and denouncing LGBTQ+ rights and then raping people.

Thanks for closing a loop on some things I experienced in childhood. You see, 1991 was the year I turned 9 AND the year I found out my parents were getting a divorce. There was a short time where they almost reconciled, and I *THOUGHT* my mom said something about a "pencil stick" in a Target bathroom was the motivation for the reconciliation attempt. I'm happy to report that as of today, I know what really happened.

Correct but I didn't see him mention a date. So I guess he is lying.
