"Florida GOP Chair's Scandal Exposes Hypocrisy of Moms for Liberty Movement"

Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, who is currently under investigation for allegations of sexual assault, instructed members of the right-wing advocacy group Moms for Liberty on how to handle negative press during a media training session. Ziegler advised against apologizing, stating that it makes one weak. He criticized a chapter of Moms for Liberty for apologizing after including a quote from Adolf Hitler in their newsletter, suggesting they should have redirected the focus to liberal indoctrination in public schools. Ziegler is now implementing a similar media strategy to control the narrative surrounding his own scandal. The fallout from the accusations has led to a chapter of Moms for Liberty breaking away from the national organization, and the Republican Party of Florida calling an emergency meeting to discuss Ziegler's future as party chair. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called for Ziegler to step down.
