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.

    Pedocon theory is a theory just like gravity is a theory. Projection is their loudest attribute.

      I’m certain they will blame this on the deep state and deny he ever did it, no matter what evidence.

        I’m not talking about politicians- I’m talking about all of them. The supporters. The base. The time for winning hearts and minds or “educating” is long past.

        Oh well. These people entered government willingly. They are the deep state.

          I agree, but I’m saying that the MAGAs can’t accept that their cult ever does any wrong. They stormed the capitol themselves and blamed it on AntiFA. They will definitely not condemn this guy, they’ll say it’s fake news and the deep state antiFA boogeymen came for this brave guy.

            That’s why you have to keep asking them questions. Antifa did it? Why’d they get pardoned by Trump? They’ll usually disengage or start hurling insults.

    Something is really fishy here. Could it be that he just got trapped into something he didn’t really have anything to do with? Planted evidence and such just because he dared go against Trump? I’m just devil’s advocating this edge into the topic.

      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

      Umm… “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is something MAGA created to make sense out of why anyone could possibly not like Trump- because in their fragile minds, it’s not possible a sane person would not like a criminal rapist.

      Essentially, this dude is part of a group of fascist gremlins that are trying to make not linking Trump classified as a detainment-worthy mental illness.

    This is fucking hilarious. What a twisted fuck. He’s deranged in multiple ways, and probably a lot more we don’t know about. Probably beats his wife and kids, and kicks his dog. Probably head of the HOA, too.

    I hope his worst colleagues in prison have lots of fun with him.

      Modern conservatives lack the creativity to imagine plausible damning accusations.

      They must draw from life.

      When they hilariously try, we get “Jewish space lasers” and “pizza parlor child fight club rings.”

      Then they get angry that basically every creative and artistic field is dominated specifically by not them. When they get handed a budget to attempt creativity, we get preachfest garbage like “God’s not dead 23” that spends 2 hours basically turning to the camera lecturing viewers about conservative grievances in the form of repetitive gotcha strawman scenarios like it’s Festivus.

      That’s the problem with only hating, with only negativity, with only being against change. It’s like trying to grow a flower by watering it with vinegar.

    Once again, not a drag queen. We need to ban religious figures and Republican politicians from reading to children.
