Justin Eichorn was arrested in a “To Catch a Predator”-style operation.

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.

    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

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

      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.

        Last time a Republican went to jail it took a long ass while and lots of investigation and litigation and the guy got pardoned. Its just odd hoe swift this came in.
