Summary

Minnesota Republican state Sen. Justin Eichorn, who introduced a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor.

Police say Eichorn believed he was meeting a 16-year-old girl but was actually texting undercover officers. His arrest came just a day after he and four other Republican senators introduced the controversial bill.

Eichorn, who is married with four children, was booked into jail and will be transferred to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center.

    He didn’t go against Trump. He’s a conservative who wanted to jail people for speaking out against Trump and tried to make an easily abusable law to arrest protesters and have them committed to a psych ward

        Maybe you should read the stories instead of just the headline in the future.
