Florida Sex Scandal Rocks Moms for Liberty Amid Group’s Declining Influence Moms for Liberty, a conservative group that gained prominence during the Covid-19 education battles, is facing a decline in influence due to scandals and setbacks. The group, initially formed in response to pandemic-related school closures and mask mandates, has also been criticized for advocating policies seen as anti-LGBTQ. A recent scandal involving one of its founders, Bridget Ziegler, and her husband, who is under investigation for sexual assault, has led to calls for her resignation from the Sarasota County School Board. Critics have accused Ziegler of hypocrisy, highlighting a perceived disparity between her public positions and private actions. The incident has sparked intense scrutiny of both Ziegler and Moms for Liberty, reflecting the group's significant role in contentious pandemic-era debates.
