    Bridget, you deserve to be fired from your job because you are terrible at your job, not because you had sex with a woman,

    I love this so hard. Epic burn.

    It’s not gay if it’s in a threeway!

    Anyways, I don’t care what shenanigans this lady gets up to in private, but can she now stop using hatred as a stepladder for her shitty political career?

        It’s like a cheat code for winning over stupid people. Us social apes instinctually band together against things we feel threaten us. These douchebags just keep crying wolf, then bear, then cougar, then three headed rattlesnake, and the list goes on, and ride that fear to further their careers. A disappointingly large portion of the population never seems to notice how so many of these issues are entirely fictional.

      Yeah I feel weird about this one. She’s a self-hating hypocrite and she’s toxic, but attacking her sexuality is extremely not something I’m comfortable with. There is, on the other hand, an allegation that she seuxally assaulted someone, so I guess it makes sense that they’re looking for this stuff.

      But maybe stop telling the press about it? Do your investigation in private and get it done.

        It’s not (or shouldn’t be) about attacking her sexuality but highlighting the hypocrisy of her position. Sex sells but in principle it’s the same as if she started a group devoted to outlawing tiktok as immoral and then had her tiktok account exposed

        She sure is comfortable attacking anyone else’s so why is she off-limits now?

          Principle

          If you say you’re against punching people in the face you can’t punch someone to stop them

          I guess, who knows

            If you are against violence and refuse to use it, sooner or later someone will use violence against you, and you will lose because you refuse to fight back.

            What is your principle worth when you’ve been beaten to a bloody pulp?

            This is what the paradox of tolerance addresses.

            What? If there’s someone walking around punching a bunch of people in the face and I’m very anti-face-punching, 100% I’m going to go against my principles of not punching the one time to punch that person in the face. They should then, hopefully, understand what their actions were doing to those around them and develop a sense of empathy.

            I feel this is as justified as outing Republican politicians who have spent their days in congress making anti-LGBT+ legislation and spending their evenings with rentboys.

        It’s the hypocrisy that I dislike so much.

        If she were a shit person preaching shit ideas but living by them? I’ll still disagree but it won’t be nearly as insulting as someone saying one thing and doing another.

        Do as I say not as I do very much appears to be part of the GOP these days and it seems like every huckster and whore is getting in on the grift. It doesn’t matter how you actually live your life; as long as you can tell certain people how they can live theirs that shadowy PAC money will trickle down.

        Pointing out her hypocrisy and making her feel bad about being a judgemental cunt is not attacking her sexuality. It’s attacking the front she’s trying to sell, don’t confuse these two.

            I don’t doubt there are people upset that she had sex with a woman on camera, but those people are the ones who are fans of her political PTO bs. Personally I get as many LOLs no matter who she filmed herself fucking because the moral judgement I’m making is about her ability to accurately portray her ‘beliefs’ in her actions.

        I thought the allegation involved her husband assaulting the woman they had threesomes with. However, I haven’t made any special effort to keep track of this situation, so I could be missing something.

      Good and let’s hope it stays that way, because the rape victim filmed without consent is also one of the people in that video.

        And even if there was no rape victim in the video, there’s an internet full of porn out there and there’s probably already something you’ll accept as masturbatory material that was meant for the general adult population.

    The embedded video of Zander Moricz is so good! Click the link and go watch it. If the first line doesn’t sell you, nothing will:

    “Bridget, our first interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County School student.”

    Hell of a way to open a comment!

    Why is police looking into this though?

    Ah… It’s in the article. They found it in her husband’s phone as he’s being investigated for rape

    In late November, a woman alleged that Christian Ziegler went to her apartment and raped her after his wife bowed out of a scheduled get-together.

    Did she commit a crime that’s her private life is being exposed? I know her husband is a rapist, but why are these videos being released?

    Yes, she’s a hypocrite, but what about her privacy? Her rights? That’s YOUR privacy and YOUR rights too.
