Ahhhh the sweet smell of hypocrisy and Jesús take the wheel (because someone has to.)
This morning PoliticsPA got me on a post on Twitter. I read and stopped. And thought no way these Klanned Karenhood types couldn’t be so stupid. Then I clicked.

USA TODAY NETWORK December 28, 2023
Now Clairice as we know is part of the witch hunts in public schools, and they can call themselves what the want, they are all Klanned Karenhood on their bus. And she’s a buddy of Beth Ann Rosica of West Chester. And they have a podcast…or HAD. It seems to have died. (Well there is another Moms in the Middle Podcast, so who knows?) Will Beth Ann be on her defense team?
Now that is definitely special and well how does podcast buddy Beth Ann feel about this news today I wonder? How does anyone feel?
Here is this woman tell all of us how she feels education should be with dark money behind her and there is this news?
Hypocritical much? (Complete docket to date is next)
This is like the Florida news with the head of the Florida GOP and co-founder of Moms for Liberty and their ménage à trois and sexual assault issues, isn’t it?
Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, husband of Moms for Liberty cofounder, accused of sexual assault by alleged menage a trois lover
by Bob Norman | Nov 30, 2023 | Featured News
Christian Ziegler, Florida’s GOP chairman and husband of Sarasota County School Board member and Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota Police Department alleging the longtime Republican official had raped her, according to a heavily redacted police report obtained by the Florida Trident.
The complaint was filed on October 4 and the alleged sexual battery occurred inside the woman’s home in Sarasota on October 2, according to the report. Among the few words that went unredacted in the report are “rape” and “sexual assault complaint.”
[UPDATE, Dec 1: Both the woman and Bridget Ziegler independently told police they had engaged with Christian Ziegler in a three-way sexual encounter more than a year before the incident, according to a search warrant in the case released late Friday. Bridget Ziegler was expected to show up at the victim’s home for a threesome planned on the day of the incident, according to police, but was unable to make it.]
The incident under investigation by Sarasota police occurred when Christian Ziegler and the woman were alone at the woman’s house, without Bridget Ziegler present, the sources conveyed. …The Zieglers are one of Florida’s top political power couples in the GOP. Christian Ziegler is a longtime Republican Party official who served as vice chairman of the state party prior to his election as chair in February. Prior to that he was a Sarasota County Commissioner who ran on a “family values” platform.
Bridget Ziegler has become a star within the MAGA movement who was personally endorsed for her school board seat by Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, who also appointed her in March to the state board that oversees the special district previously overseen by Disney World prior to DeSantis’s politically motivated feud with the entertainment company.
She is perhaps best known as the cofounder of the right-wing group Moms for Liberty, which has supported book bans in public schools across the country. Bridget Ziegler personally helped lay the groundwork for DeSantis’ Florida Parental Rights In Education Act (known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law) that disallows instruction on “sexual orientation or gender identity” in kindergarten through the third grade. She stood behind DeSantis as he signed the bill.
Following in the Moms For Liberty model, Ziegler has been a leading anti-trans activist and “critical race theory” opponent who has said her aim is to bring “religious values” into public schools that she claims are “indoctrination centers for the radical left.”

“Who knew ‘traditional values’ included setting up a ménage à trois,” writes columnist Daniel Ruth.
Can we all admit an uncomfortable, but obvious truth?
Spoiler alert: This is the part where sex canoodles with politics and more pointedly, hypocrisy.
When you learned holier-than-thou Florida Republican Party Chairman Christian Ziegler, his sanctimonious wife, Sarasota School Board member Bridget Ziegler and a yet unnamed other woman had engaged in thrupleism your first reaction was somewhere along the lines of: (A) Oh now, we’re doomed (B) Yeah, so?, (C) Duh.
By now we have all pretty well figured out the greater the Bible-thumping in the hands of a pol, the greater the likelihood we’re merely one grope away from a Jerry Springer Show moment.
In time, we’ll find out if Chairman Ziegler did indeed sexually assault the unnamed woman. He has denied raping the woman, and an investigation is underway. But we do know the Zieglers and the woman consummated the friendship on at least one occasion about a year before the alleged crime occurred. And we have also learned Ziegler, who chairs a party that loves to caterwaul about “family values,” recorded the liaison.
What might we call this cinematic achievement? “Bridget Does Sarasota”?
It’s probably worth reminding everyone, it was Bridget Ziegler who was a founder of “Moms for Liberty,” which is sort of the template for the worst next-door neighbor from hell who roots through your garbage and tells everyone how many wine bottles are in your trash.
Mrs. Ziegler inveighed against anything remotely gay showing up on school library shelves. Moms for Liberty promoted parental control in schools and championed traditional values. Who knew “traditional values” included setting up a ménage à trois, unless you’re Madonna?
Almost immediately after the salacious and potentially criminal revelations went public Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a brief break from his presidential delusion tour to call for Christian Ziegler to step down as state GOP chairman…..After all, the notion of a powerful (for now) phony couple getting funky with an added member to the team hardly tarnishes the brand of a political party that has shown all the moral spine of Shakespeare’s Iago meets George Santos. The House of Representatives is now lead by Louisiana’s Mike Johnson an evangelical Christian who has managed to invoke God’s name even when he orders coffee….
By Trump’s standards on what passes for morality, Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler come off as The Beaver’s parents. “Say, Mrs. Cleaver, you look lovely in that bustier.”
Did the Zieglers get somewhat frisky? Sure. Are they shameless hypocrites? This is even a question?
But they are merely loyal footsie soldiers in a party populated by the sleazy likes of Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren “The Fondler” Boebert and perhaps the best for last, Jim Jordan, who has steadfastly declined to cooperate with an investigation into the sexual assault of Ohio State University wrestlers by a team doctor when he was a coach….
The condescending, self-righteous Christian and Bridget Ziegler aren’t extreme outliers in the Republican Party. They are simply a mirror reflecting an enabling GOP that long ago lost its way when it willingly appeased its worst figure.
Well, okay, this mirror is glued to a ceiling, but you get the idea.
Now of course as soon as I posted about the latest Bucks County Party Mom Gone Wrong the “faithful” came out of the woodwork. (Yes there have been others who have made the news cycle and then there was the mom who deep faked cheerleadears and the one who got jail time for her underage booze fest and being naked with young males in 2009 as well. Bucks County should be testing the air and the water.)
In 2022, something appeared about all that was Claire was not clean:

And apparently she was also fined in 2023 by the state ethics commission?

Well this is an interesting turn of events, is it not? The ranks of Klanned Karenhood no matter what they call themselves are problematic, aren’t they? Burning question to end with is does Clarice also enjoy a good chianti and fava beans?
