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.

    The “Conservative party” summed up in one article. Yell, scream and call people pedophiles … all because they themselves are pedophiles and perverts.

    Who would have thought those who love to control gullible people would go after the MOST gullible of us in search of power. It’s almost like they love to control the powerless and vulnerable… Hmm…

      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.

      Only sane people suspect these Nigerian prince grade con artists.

      Meanwhile, conservatives have already invested their life savings into the new super-legit cryptocurrency, PedoCoin™️.

      Let me preface this with, I obviously don’t support pedos, but generally encouraging law enforcement to setup and entrap people for any reason is pretty sketchy and can easily get out of hand.

      Good thing this is usually covered by state law enforcement. Federal wouldn’t do shit.

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

        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.

        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.
