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.

    Why does this consistently keep happening but only to republicans?

    They should include in the title he got arrested for trying to solicit sex for minors, not the bill.

    I think even most republicans think pedophiles are bad.

      Remember when the strongest homophobes were the most likely to be closeted homosexuals?

      This is that.

        I hate that they’re trying to lump trans people in with pedophiles.

        Republicans can go fuck themselves. Every single one of them, and every single person who voted for them.
