Morphew and his legal team have denied any wrongdoing, stating that he last saw Suzanne asleep at home before he headed into work, and that he had secured a hotel room for someone helping him with a construction gig. The Morphew family and the 11th Judicial District Attorney’s office did not respond to requests for comment on this story. The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to The Daily Beast that the investigation into what happened to Suzanne Morphew was ongoing—and thus they could not share any details.
MAGA candidate’s former mother-in-law pens scathing op-ed about her
Same-sex sexual encounters involving a woman who has supported Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. They all involve Bridget and Christian Ziegler, the Florida MAGA couple who’ve found themselves in the news a lot lately, and not for anything good. That roughly equal division among Republicans showed up again in a December 2021 CBS News poll. Then, 47% of Republicans said the people who stormed the Capitol were patriots; 53% said they were not. Surveys show that Republican attitudes on the Capitol breach and the battle with law enforcement are divided. But a Monmouth University poll also found that in the past year, Republicans became a little more accepting of the violence that day.

In an August 2020 interview with Fox21, Morphew insisted unfair media coverage of his wife’s case made him out to be a villain. “People don’t know the truth, so they’re gonna think what they’re gonna think,” he said. The search for Suzanne Morphew began two years ago when a neighbor reported her missing after she didn’t return home from a bike ride. For several days, federal and local authorities conducted an extensive canvass over a 2.5-mile area—eventually finding her bike and undamaged helmet, but not Suzanne. “When Barry was first charged with Suzanne’s murder, it seemed like we were finally in the steps of getting closure and answers about what happened to her and where she was,” Tisha Leewaye, one of Suzanne’s friends, told The Daily Beast. But her support of the former Republican frontrunner has earned her plenty of criticism and she even had to deny she attended the January 6 insurrection at Capitol Hill.

It won’t surprise you that in addition to receiving legislative and political bullying tactics usually reserved for Democrats, several GOP members who defied Donald Trump and didn’t vote Jim Jordan for Speaker also reported death threats. When Herrera Beutler voted to impeach Trump, Kent said, he felt stirred to protect Trump. He visited Mar-a-Lago in May; Trump told him he needed to see whether Kent could raise money and gain traction. He’s the exact type of Republican we need that won’t cower, won’t fall in line to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and will stop the radical Democrats from destroying our great country,” Greene said in the video, aiming at two Republican House members who are among Trump’s most fervent critics. A previous version of this article misstated the number of districts former president Donald Trump won by 15 or more points in the 2020 election in more than a dozen states that have approved new redistricting maps.

One of the main problems was that prosecutors had a lot of circumstantial evidence, but nothing definitive that tied Morphew to Suzanne’s death. Not to mention the fact that Suzanne’s body was still missing, and prosecutors admitted in court that there was no clear idea of how, precisely, she was killed. Despite the public appeal, questions began to surface about his possible role in his wife’s disappearance—fueled in part by the suggestion that he had scrubbed a Denver hotel room clean just prior to her being reported missing.

She describes her time at Fox as “wonderful,” and I’m pretty flummoxed by that. She left Fox News when the show she co-anchored, Fox News Specialists, was canceled due to co-anchor Eric Bolling’s sexual harassment allegations, which ended with him leaving the network. Eytan recalled that by this February, her team had filed a motion asking for sanctions against the prosecution and dismissal of the trial—stating that it was the only “just remedy” to justify the level of misconduct. In their own motion, the prosecution insisted the allegations were “utter nonsense” and denied any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors last May filed several charges against Morphew, which offered shocking details about how the 53-year-old allegedly planned and covered up Suzanne Morphew’s murder a year earlier, on May 9, 2020. Days after his arrest, the father-of-two was hit with additional charges for allegedly submitting a mail-in ballot on behalf of his missing wife—and casting her vote for Donald Trump. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Siggy Flicker has long supported Donald Trump and told Newsweek "he was the greatest president in the history of America." At a recent visit to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the presidential candidate kept the former Real Housewife of New Jersey star at an arms length. The entire Sarasota County School Board has demanded Bridget Ziegler resign, which she has refused to do, saying this week she was “disappointed” that they asked her to step down. A rape accusation against the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.
Broun, 75, is a Trump supporter, but he won’t go quite as far as to say the 2020 election was stolen. Party purity tests in primary elections aren’t new, but the bar has moved sharply since Trump’s election. The RINO — Republican in name only — hunters of a decade ago, like Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.), who forced then-Sen. Arlen Specter to switch parties rather than face him in an unwinnable primary, are now the hunted in a party that has remade itself in Trump’s image.

The blood and DNA in question, the defense lawyer said, did not match Morphew’s—but it did correspond with DNA profiles in at least three unsolved sexual-assault cases across the country. "It was my post that got 'retruthed' by the greatest president in the history of America and the greatest friend to the Jewish people and State of Israel. It's all true," Flicker told Newsweek. As for Christian Ziegler, the calls for him to resign as chair of the Florida Republican Party have been deafening, with everyone from DeSantis to the Speaker of the Florida House and the state Senate president, as well as Senator Rick Scott, calling for him to resign. Michael Thompson, the leader of the Lee County Republican Executive Committee, told NBC News he guesses just 2% of party leaders want Ziegler to stay on as chair.
In early January 2021, some social media users claimed to have spotted her at the riots, saying they saw her in an Instagram video. But despite describing the rioters at the Capitol as "patriots" on Instagram, she vowed she was not there herself. Flicker often boasts about Trump on social media, including writing, "Thank you President Trump for really caring about America," in an Instagram post from July. Trump had shared an image of a flyer that listed claims of his achievements for Jewish people in the U.S. and Israel. In his post, Trump added a caption where he accused "liberal Jews" of ruining the country because they "believed false narratives."
“MAGA,” or “make America great again,” was former President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan that has become synonymous with a far-right sect of the Republican party. Meanwhile, deputy press secretary Andrew Bates allegedly violated the Hatch Act by describing Republican fiscal policies as a "MAGA tax welfare” in a memo. "MAGA Republicans are the people who refuse to acknowledge that an election took place and there was a winner," Biden said Sept. 18.
And, on cue, Trump lied repeatedly about the order’s requirements as soon as it was released. “‘Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest’ comes to mind,” Chutkan told Trump’s lawyer, invoking Henry II. If you need a refresher, Henry never outright told his knights to murder the meddlesome Archbishop of Canterbury in 1170. But after he dropped that ageless line, a bunch of them just kinda went and did it. McQuade told me there’s a chance, even if it’s not likely, that Powell has already negotiated or is in the process of negotiating a plea deal with Smith. Or, she could be waiting to see if he actually intends to charge her in the case.
Key to the strategy is to coalesce MAGA-movement support around certain candidates running in Republican primaries in heavily pro-Trump congressional districts where the primary victor is all but assured to win the seat in November. That effort is being bolstered by redistricting, as state lawmakers draw districts even more partisan than the current lines. "I voted Republican for the first time in my life," Flicker told Newsweek, about her decision to vote for Trump in the 2016 presidential elections. The Hatch Act was passed in 1939 and meant to prevent candidates, particularly incumbent candidates, from using employees with federal salaries, as well as federal resources to further their own political ambitions. In addition to limiting what federal employees can do, it also prevents elected officials from using government buildings for campaign events, it forbids anyone from bribing citizens for their vote and it outlaws federal funds from being used for campaign activities.

In 2012, while a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship, he learned an informal sexual assault accusation had been leveled against him; he did not pursue the award. Witt, who denied the accusation, said in an interview that he blames a New York Times article about it for ruining his chances to play professionally. It was there, he said, while surrounded by liberals and “RINOs,” that he became a Trump supporter, mocking his classmates after the 2016 election for what he said was being offered — puppies, therapy and delayed finals — to deal with the emotional trauma.
Eytan added that she was not sweating the prospect of prosecutors refiling the murder charges against Morphew, and that Morphew was not worried about it either. Instead, she said, he was focused on finding Suzanne and the separate case involving the 2020 ballot. "I'm getting fake news alerts again," the ex-Bravo star said in a video shared to her Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, accounts on January 13, 2021. "Don't believe all the bulls–t that's out there. I've been in Florida since Dec. 3."
