Last Sunday evening, contemporary worship music filled a Sarasota Baptist church while actors in shepherd robes led a llama, sheep, and donkey to a living Nativity scene. On stage, choir members sat on risers for the congregations annual Singing Christmas Tree Spectacular, forming a dazzling 25-foot-tall human conifer.
But one prominent couple caught the attention of some revelers that night, and it wasnt the people playing Mary and Joseph.
A few people were like, Oh my God, I cant believe theyre here, one patron at the event told The Daily Beast. They duped everybody. They arent who they say they are.
And if youre going to be that bold, you better live it.
The unexpected guests were Republican power couple Bridget and Christian Ziegler, who until last week enjoyed a life of MAGA celebrities as a co-founder of Moms for Liberty and the Florida GOPs chairman, respectivelyuntil a three-way sex scandal and Sarasota police probe mangled their image as the epitome of conservative family values.
Now the Zieglers, widely perceived by critics as right-wing anti-LGBTQ crusaders, have all but been run out of town.

(94,503 posts)Hypocrisy is a big one. Go thou, and sin no more, means what it says get your act together. Its not a pat on the head.
Those two hurt untold numbers of others. I dont think they have the insight to be sorry about that yet.

(2,616 posts)the damage they've inflicted by enabling DuhSatan will not go away for a long time. There's a Sarasota school board meeting this week. The Moms for Liberty Praying Lady, who never misses a chance to preach and pray publicly at these meetings, will no doubt tell her audience to forgive them their sins, because they're MAGA. Gonna be an interesting meeting.
