"Florida GOP Emergency Meeting to Oust Chairman Accused of Rape Amid Sex Scandal"

The Republican Party of Florida is holding a special meeting to vote on removing Chairman Christian Ziegler amid a police investigation into a rape accusation against him, with prominent Republicans, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling for his resignation. The vote comes ahead of DeSantis' presidential aspirations and amid controversy over LGBTQ+ rights in Florida. Ziegler and his wife have admitted to a consensual sexual relationship with the accuser, and while Ziegler denies the accusation, the situation has sparked criticism and accusations of hypocrisy due to their outspoken opposition to LGBTQ+ rights.
