For two weeks, the three-way sex scandal involving Florida GOP chair Christian Ziegler and his wife has cast unwelcome attention on the Republican party.

Throughout the drama, Ziegler has compared his situation to former President Donald Trump’s controversies and sought a free pass; sent emails declaring he wouldn’t resign because “we have a country to save”; and reportedly requested $2 million to walk away.
