Christian Ziegler wants a multimillion-dollar buyout to resign as the Republican Party of Florida’s (RPOF) Chair, party sources confirmed.

The demand comes as the political leader remains under investigation for rape and involved in a scandal making national headlines.

Multiple sources confirm Ziegler has asked for a massive payout — one source said $2 million — to go away. Officials within the state party confirmed emissaries for Ziegler approached the party on his behalf.

On brand for the GQP.

    If he were to actually go through with it, would that not be quid pro quo? Seems awfully similar to what Rod Blegoyavich went to federal prison for… Just saying.

    I guess the GOP is technically a private entity, so they can do it? I don’t know.
