You remember these two. Bridget is the founder of Moms for Liberty and the chief morality cop on the Sarasota County School Board, and her husband Christian was the former head of the Florida GOP who was accused of raping one of their playmates. The anti-LGBTQ predator refused to resign after this sex scandal.
Via the Palm Beach Post:

A newly surfaced memo from a Sarasota Police investigator described numerous text messages between Christian and Bridget Ziegler where the two were "on the prowl" for a female sexual encounter at different bars, according to records obtained by the Herald-Tribune.

In the memo, SPD investigator Angela Cox described seeing messages where Bridget would direct Christian in search of someone they were both interested in having sex with. In the conversations, Christian would secretly take pictures of women in bars and send them to Bridget for approval. She suggested he pretend to take pictures of his beer to not get caught by the women he was photographing.

"Don't come home until your d*** is wet," Bridget directed her husband, according to the memo.

There's a lot of self-loathing in the world of extremist morality:

Bridget also championed a district rejection of new federal Title IX protections against gender identity discrimination, asserting that it put children and girls in danger.

Barry Dubin, the executive director of the district's teacher's union, emailed the union's members Friday morning, jokingly calling Bridget the "gift that keeps giving."

"There is no need to relive the sordid details which have been spelled out in great detail by our local and national media," Dubin wrote. "What concerns me is what concerns our school district and that is Team Ziegler’s continued fight to stay relevant in light of those circumstances and to use our school district as its vehicle to do so."
