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.

    its “how will you stop him”.

    The State of Minnesota has its own force capabilities. Tim Walz could ring the facility with State Guard, order tanks to sit in the parking lot, and have combat helicopters flying over the facility 24x7. THAT is how its stopped. The State of Minnesota isn’t a Court, it actually has the ability to enforce things using military firepower.

    I don’t really see him presenting much of a problem.

    People like you really aren’t worth talking too. Sure bub, a Governor isn’t much a problem. Uh huh.

      You are delusional if you think that there’s any chance Walz would escalate things to military resistance against the federal government. I would love it if he did, but that’s just a complete fantasy.
