Gruters/Barfield/Ziegler
GRUTERS AND ZIEGLER’S CONNECTIONS TO MICHAEL BARFIELD-A POLITICAL UNIPARTY POLITICAL OPERATIVE HIT MAN WITH 68 CONVICTED FELONIES
The Ziegler's with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
Bridget and Christian Ziegler political careers are in tatters, not because of crimes committed. The Ziegler’s personal, political and financial lives are in tatters due to a salacious narrative put out by a former jailhouse lawyer, who moonlights as a political operative hit man, Michael Barfield.
Barfield on his way to a 10-year federal prison sentence for five federal felony offenses; which were conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury before a federal grand jury, and two separate wire fraud schemes for defrauding a U.S Federal Judge and Prosecutor.
Barfield demonstrating for the ACLU before deposed as President of ACLU FL in Sarasota with attorey Andrea Mogensen.
Barfield is a 68 CONVICTED felon, who spent three state and federal prison terms before becoming a former ACLU FL president took out the Ziegler’s not on guilt of sexual abuse or rape. Barfiield took out the Ziegler's on salaciously sensationalized leaks from unnamed sources directly or indirectly from an inept Sarasota Police Department.
Zac Anderson/Chris Anderson/Steven Walker
Barfiel's salaacious narrative was followed up by Sarasota Heral Tribune reporters Zac Anderson, Chris Anderson and Steven Walker with the full approval of a SHT editor Roger Brown to fed the frenzy of left wing extremists.
The SHT and other media outlets following the Barfield narrative taking pleasure in feeding the Ziegler enemies and hater readers, especially the sick ones who enjoyed reading about the voyeurism of Barfield's salacious narrative of the Ziegler's.
Evan Power
Barfield's salacious narrative to take out Christian Ziegler, as the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman led to Ziegler being replaced by a UNIPARTY establishment Tallahassee lobbyist, Evan Power.
BARFIELD INTEGRAL PART OF THE BLACKMAIL OF GRUTERS
Gruters
Barfield is the same political operative "Con Man's Con Man" hit man with 68 felonies, who back in 2015 carried a message to then Sarasota County Republican Chairman Joe Gruters to go easy on electing two Republicans, who were running for the Sarasota City Commission in 2015.
UNIPARTY HIT MAN BARFIELD SAYS NORMILE AND ZIMMERMAN NOT RIGHT KIND OF REPUBLICANS
The UNIPARTY hit man Barfield, who has been taking out grassroots candidates told Gruters that Eileen Normile and Stan Zimmerman were not the "right kind" of candidates and UNIPARTY and registered as Democrat Liz Alpert and Shelli Freeland Eddie were the "right kind" of candidates.
Normile and Zimmermam
Normile and Zimmerman being grassroots Republicans and anti "Pay to Play" developers were not considered the "right kind" of Republicans by the 68 CONVICTED felon, Barfield.
A few days later on 4/20/15, after Gruters continued supporting Normile and Zimerman allegations were placed on Craigs List that Gruters and a close friend and political associate, Chad Ciaravella were engaged in scandalous activities. Ciaravella was very active in state and local Republican politics with Gruters, especially with Young Republicans in the past.
The accusation no doubt was motivated by the fact that Gruters was going to continue supporting Normile and Zimmerman.
GRUTERS GOT THE MESSAGE AND THREW FELLOW REPUBLICANS UNDER THE BUS
On 4/23/15 the scandalous activities between Gruters and Ciaravella were taken down. Shortly after that Normile and Zimmerman reported Gruters support of their campaigns promised by Gruters was minimized. No salacious Barfield narrative and no enflamed follow up by the SHT.
Neal the former 12 year Democrat State Senator
GRUTERS” CROSSED THE LINE AND SOLD HIS SOUL TO BECOME A NEAL POLITICAL HACK AS A FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATOR AND CHAIRMAN OF RPOF
Shortly after Normile and Zimmerman were defeated, Gruters became actively involved in running for the Florida House of Representative and hiring "Pay to Play" Pat Neal political operatives. Gruters hired Eric "The Prince of Dirty Dark PAC Money” Robinson as his treasurer and fellow Robinson political operative, Mac Stevenson as his political consultant.
When asked by this reporter why hiring the political operatives for Pat Neal, the once conservative Republican Gruters replied---"I have become like Switzerland."
GRUTERS TURNED SARASOTA CITY HALL OVER TO DEVELOPERS AND LGBTQ POLITICAL OPERATIVES.
From that day forward the Sarasota City Commission became nothing more than UNIPARTY Commissioners controlled by “Pay to Play” developers like Neal and LGBTQ political operatives.
"Switzerland Joe" Gruters shortly after throwing Normile and Zimmerman under the bus had a massive fundraiser in Lakewood Ranch. This fundraiser occurred after hiring “The Prince of Dirty Dark PAC Money” Robinson and a few other Neal operatives.
The local Neal Republican establishment have been supporting "Switzerland Joe" ever since that fund raiser in Lakewood Ranch and throwing fellow Republicans under the bus.
Brill
"SWITZERLAN JOE" TURNED OVER LOCAL REC TO BRILL AND THE LOCAL REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT
As Gruters moved on to Tallahassee, Gruters turned over the daily operations of the local Sarasota Republican Executive Committee (REC) to a Neal flunky, Jack Brill.
Brill turned the REC organization into being part of a UNIPARTY headed by the former 12-year NEVER TRUMP Florida Democrat State Senator Neal. Along came Neal cronies, Carlos Beruff, Randy Benderson, Rex Jensen and other establishment cronies.
SWITZERLAND JOE GRUTERS” CROSSED THE LINE AND SOLD HIS SOUL TO BECOME A POLITICAL HACK AS A FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATOR AND CHAIRMAN OF RPOF
Gruters has sold out to become a member of the Neal/Beruff led corrupt local political establishment machine that has turned Sarasota and Manatee into a cesspool of political corruption.
Selling out and becoming a political flunky is a common idiomatic pejorative expression for the compromising of a person's integrity, morality, and principles in exchange for personal gain. Claiming to adhere to one ideology, only to follow these claims up with actions contradicting his stated position is selling out.
GRUTERS MENTOR NEAL ATTACKS TRUMP AS A VULGAR CANDIDATE
Gruters attempts to be a loyal supporter of Donald Trump has become a problem because of his mentor, “THE NEVER TRUMP" Neal comments about Trump.
The “Pay to Play” developer Neal was quoted in the Sarasota Herald Tribune saying among other quotes: "Trump as an incredibly vulgar candidate, who is leading our party off a cliff." Neal continued: "It worries him that the GOP base has embraced Trump."
Neal, Beruff and other pockets Gruters is stuffed into were major supporters of Governor Ron DeSantis Presidential campaign against Trump.
Greer
GRUTERS IS ANOTHER GREER
Members of the RPOF and state legislature believe that Gruters is reminiscent of former RPOF Chairman Jim Greer. Gruters, like Greer is living a very nice, don’t turn on the light lifestyle in Sarasota and beyond since becoming chairman of the RPOF.
For example, since becoming Chairman of the RPOF, Gruters has a PAC (Florida Conservatives United) managed by Stafford Jones out of the Coates law firm in Tallahassee, which has had over $3.6 million in contributions and over $2.8 million in expenditures. That was and beyond Gruters expense account of his $120,000 salary, as Chairman of the RPOF.
Gruters bag man, Jones, has been described by Daniel Roth of the Tampa Bay Times as, “A master of the dark arts of creating phony political committees with dubious names like “Citizens Alliance for Florida’s Economy,” or “The Responsible Leadership Committee.”
Albritton
A LITTLE "SUGAR" TO ALBRITTON
In Gruters PAC there is a $50,000 contribution to the Friends of Ben Albritton, who is the next Florida Senate President. A little "sugar" to have Gruters legislative bills moving along.
A little "sugar" from Gruters to Albritton is appropriate, since Albritton along with his fellow State Senator running for Florida Agriculture Secretary Wilton Simpson are shrills for Big Sugar.
$70,000 TO ZIEGLER
In those Gruters expenditures there is also over $70,000 to Ziegler's Microtargeted Media company to keep Switzerland Joe moving along politically.
A $50,000 "KISS" TO GRUTERS FROM NEAL
Gruters Florida Conservatives United PAC is supplemented by another Gruters PAC called, Friends of Joe Gruters. One of Gruters friends is Neal, who deposited a $50,000 check in Gruters PAC.
GRUTERS PAC IS A SLUSH FUND
Florida Conservative United PAC is nothing more than a slush fund for Gruters with over $2.5 million in expenditures, which Gruters uses to travel the state and various sites like Chicago, Washington D.C., Houston Texas, Denver and Las Vegas while dining and lodging at five-star restaurants and hotels.
For example among other many other "items" --In St. Louis there is a $500.00 restaurant tab at FOX Sports West restaurant and $438.86 for a night stay at the Magnolia Hotel. In St. Augustine there is a $444.32 for a restaurant and hotel tab at the five-star Casa Monica Hotel. In Las Vegas there is $4,520.92 for Ceasars Hotel and Casino.
No Big Macs and Motel 6 for Senator Gruters as he travels the state and country on Beruff, Benderson and other contributors "dimes."
GRUTERS HANGS OUT AT SOUTH BEACH KIND OF LOUNGE
By the way, when Gruters is in Sarasota his favorite restaurant and late-night destination is the Selva Lounge.
Gruters Selva Lounge in Downtown Sarasota advertises itself as, "Our lounge moves to a Sarasota-meets-South-Beach kind of beat. Custom cocktails, a late-night menu, and cushy couches make it a lively destination for foodies and fashionistas alike. And, if you crave entertainment past midnight, our DJ spins on weekends until 1 AM."
Gruters while hanging out at another late-night bar and after a night of heavy drinking in a Tallahassee bar, which is the "hangout" for legislators in Tallahassee, Gruters got involved in attempting a salacious act with a Democrat male staffer on a ride back to his apartment.

- TALLAHASSEE — The Republican Party of Florida investigated its chair, Joe Gruters, in connection with a sexual harassment allegation involving a legislative staffer amid complaints from top party officials that the accusation was covered up.
Four party officials and an additional source who works with the Republican Party of Florida told POLITICO Tuesday morning that the allegations stem from an evening at a Tallahassee bar during the 2021 legislative session. Sources say a male aide offered to drive Gruters home from the bar and at some point Gruters allegedly sexually harassed the aide.
No Barfield salacious narrative leading to Gruters removal as RPOF Chairman. What occurred was a cover-up headed by then vice chairman of RPOF, Ziegler. The same Ziegler, who Gruters would be the first to throw stones at Ziegler in removing him as Chairman of the RPOF.
GRUTERS IS SOMEONE NOT TO BE IN A FOXHOLE WITH
Gruters throwing Ziegler under the bus is not something that has not been just with Ziegler. A longtime local political operative, who has known Gruters for years made this observation of Gruters: "What I don't understand is Gruters apparent tendency to throw under the bus those that have stood by him in pretty much every instance."
GRUTERS TAKES OUT AMERICA FIRST ACTIVISTS
A grievance filed against Gruters by Bay County REC Chairwoman Debbie Woods for Gruters’s endorsing Griff Griffitts over Trump Activist Brian Clowdus in the Republican primary race for State House District 6 brought to light how Gruters has not been supporting America First candidates.
Gruters threw local Sarasota REC State Committeewoman and America First activists Terry Angley under the bus by appointing UNIPARTY RINO Brill over Angley to a key RPOF position.
Brunni
Brill also supported the UNIPARTY RINO Brill over America First activists Connie Brunni when Brunni ran for Chairwoman of the local REC against Brill in 2022.
Pedicini
Gruters pump millions of dollars as Chairman of the RPOF to the dirtbag political operative out of Ybor City, Anthony Pedicini to take out America First candidates.
GRUTERS AND “THE PRINCE OF DIRTY DARK PAC MONEY” CPA BUSINESS
Dozens of state lobbyists, candidates, and elected officials accused Gruters of using his position to make money for himself, as Chairman of ROPOF.
Gruters has benefitted from being chairman of the RPOF by apparently using his position to corral individuals running for office and running for re-election to elected office.
Since assuming the chairmanship, Gruters hired by no less than nine Republican legislators, including Senator Jim Boyd and Rep. Fiona McFarland, Will Robinson, and Wyman Duggan, to do their campaign accounting through his CPA firm in Venice with "The Prince of Dirty Dark PAC Money" Robinson.
McDaniel
GRUTERS LOOKED TO LAND ON RNC WITH McDANIEL'S ENDORSEMENT
As Gruters was being run off as Chairman of the RPOF by Governor Ron DeSantis, Gruters hopped he could stay in “PRIME TIME” in the upcoming 2024 election cycle.
Dhillon
Gruters proceeded to turn on America First activists ONCE AGAIN by endorsing the establishment Rona McDaniel for re-election to Chair of the Republican National Committee over America First candidate Harmeet Dhillon. Gruters had hoped that would gain him election, as the Treasurer of the RNC.
Crosbie
That was a failure, as Gruters took on Kentucky State Committeewoman K.C. Crosbie, who easily defeated Gruters.
GRUTERS POLITICAL SKILLS HEAVILY OVER RATED
While Gruters has successfully ridden the crest of the 2022 election cycle Republican wave, Gruters personally had little to do with its creation or implementation.
Ziegler taking Gruters along for the ride
Those accolades go to Ziegler, who is recognized through his digital company Microtargeting Media, as the moving force with the assistance of America First grassroots activist in turning Florida - America First Red White and Blue. Ziegler led winning elections in Florida and beyond and took Gruters along for the ride.
Any claims that Gruters was the moving force in moving Florida Republican America First-Red White and Blue in 2022 are false.
Gruters can take credit in having the City Of Sarasota City Hall fall into the hands UNIPARTY Commissioners managed by LGBTQ political operatives during his term as Chairman of local REC.
Wiles
WILES MOVED FALTERING TRUMP CAMPAIGN OUT OF SARASOTA IN 20116
Trump political operative Susi Wiles, not Gruters was given high praises by political observers by taking command of a disastrous faltering Trump campaign being run out of Sarasota and led by Gruters in 2016. Wiles moved the HQ to Orlando where she engineered a Trump victory in Florida.
DeNapoli with Gruters
GRUTERS CRONIES DeNAPOLI AND JONES
Two of Gruters’ allies at the RPOF, the RPOF Grievance Chairman Richard “Dick” DeNapoli and Gruters bagman Stafford Jones dirtied up the RPOF politically and financially under Gruters
Gruters allowed Jones to use RPOF funds to funnel $millions through his Dirty Dark PAC out of the Coates law firm in Tallahassee to stuff politicians into “Pay to Play” developers corrupting local governments
Gruters refused to allow grievances filed against his other flunky, DeNapoli. Grievances among others concerned felony voter fraud in an election and lying about his military service.
Schorsch
GRUTERS AND ALLIES ATTACKED PRO LIFE AND PRO FAMILY CANDIDATES
Gruters and DeNapoli allies have had political consultant Pedicini, Peter Schorsch of FLORIDA POLITICS' and other Gruters "allies" attack conservative America First Republican candidates throughout the State of Florida on their Pro Life and Pro Family proposals.
Those candidates, who are the backbone of the America First Republican Party have attacked Gruters on his stance on Heartbeat and Equality legislation. Gruters stance on those issues are not consistent with Republican America First conservatives’ voters.
Stemberger
GRUTERS ASKED TO RESIGN AFTER PUSHING GLBTQ AGENDA
Gruters after introducing legislation (SB 438) in 2020 aimed at ending workforce discrimination against LGBTQ Floridians, Conservative activist John Stemberger then called on Gruters to resign as the chairman of the RROF.
Stemberger, president of the Orlando-based Florida Family Policy Council, wrote, “No state Republican Party chairman in the history of America has ever supported a bill this dangerous and irresponsible. The bill represents both bad policy and bad politics and because of his refusal to pull his support from this egregious legislation, we are announcing a grass roots campaign to unseat him as state party chairman."
SELBY GARDENS A.K.A TARA BY THE BAY AND ROMINIECKI'S "PHENOMENAL LEADERSSHIP" -- JOE GRUTERS
Gruters' Rominiecki at a Selby Gardens Sarasota Tara on the Bay gala
Gruters supported the $100 million dollar Sarasota Selby Gardens project led by Jennifer Rominecki and Michael Klauber. The project is nothing more than a venue for galas of the super wealthy white elite Sarasota establishment catered by a “Klauber on the Bay” restaurant.
Rominiecki's "Phenomenal leader" Gruters with his wife at a Selby Gardens gala
“We could not have secured this appropriation without the phenomenal leadership of Sen. Joe Gruters." Rominiecki was speaking of a $1.4 appropriation bill Gruters sponsored in the Florida Legislature.
GRUTERS HAS NO PROBLEM SUPPORTING THE SARASOAT UNIPARTY OF THE LGBTQ AND THE SUPER WEALTHY DONOR ESTABLISHMENT
Gruters had no problem pushing the LGBTQ agenda with Florida SB438 and sponsoring a$1.4 million state appropriations bill for the Selby Gardens social elite donor class.
Both the LGBTQ movement and white social donor establishment in Sarasota have become a major political movement in Sarasota for Switzerland Joe to cultivate. This is the same movement that is a major part of the UNIPARTY that Gruters sold out to in 2015.
GRUTERS SOLD OUT TO BECOME A NEAL UNIPARTY ESTABLISHMENT FLUNKY
Gruters has sold out to become a political flunky for the Neal UNIPARTY establishment. In selling out to Neal and the local UNIPARTY, Gruters has become a Florida State Representative, a Florida State Senator and Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida----
NOW GRUTERS DESIRES TO BE A ANTI TRUMPSER NEAL AND LOCAL UNIPARTY REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN FROM FLORIDA.
