'Caused damage': Florida school board votes to demand Moms for Liberty co-founder’s resignation

In a 4-1 vote on Tuesday, the Sarasota County School Board called for member Bridget Ziegler — who is also Moms for Liberty co-founder — to resign after serving since 2014, The Daily Beast reports.

This comes as Ziegler's husband, Florida Republican Party Chair Christian Ziegler, undergoes an investigation over rape allegations.

Per the Beast, "The board’s action—drafted by board chair Karen Rose—requested that Ziegler 'voluntarily resign' in light of the Sarasota police probe and stated that she 'would cause an irreparably harmful distraction' to the board's ability to conduct business."

The report notes Ziegler commented "briefly" during the meeting for the first time since the controversy surfaces, saying, "You know, I am disappointed. As people may know, I serve on another public board and this issue did not come up and we were able to forge ahead with the business of the board."

She also serves on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' Disney oversight board, which he created to punish the entertainment giant for public opposing his "Don't Say Gay" law.

The news outlet notes:

As The Daily Beast reported, the Zieglers became MAGA royalty for pushing their conservative politics in Sarasota and beyond. Their tactics, however, also made them enemies on both sides of the aisle.

One state Republican operative told The Daily Beast that it's revealing that the Zieglers have few colleagues defending them. 'I've never seen that in the world of politics,' they said. 'In the world of fake news, and witch hunts, and hoaxes, this is the one instance where everybody is not surprised, and is ready to go in for the kill. And it is not just Democrats.'

Parent Tamara Solum told the news outlet, "Voters need to pay attention to the players in the field. The Zieglers have made their fame and fortune on the backs of our students. Their greed and desire for power have exploited children and caused damage to our schools."

Still, according to the Beast, the board's resolution says "only the governor can suspend a board member for malfeasance, neglect of duty, and other alleged violations. Once that happens, the state Senate would then need a majority vote to boot them from office."
