Hours after enduring scores of public comments decrying Sarasota County School Board member Bridget Ziegler over her refusal to step down amid the hypocrisy exposed by her and her husband’s three-way sex scandal, the Moms for Liberty co-founder was finally given the floor.
“I know it’s been a long evening and I want to thank staff again for hanging in there,” she said with a smile. “I wanted to mention a couple of things that came up in public comment.”
Ziegler has remained silent on the sex scandal since Dec. 12, when her Florida school board voted 4 to 1 (Ziegler was the exception) to ask her to step down from her position, one she has held since 2014. She refused, and has maintained her presence on the board despite widespread public disapproval.
