MAGA Pol Behind ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Bill Caught in Teen Sex Sting
Justin Eichorn was arrested in a “To Catch a Predator”-style operation.
City Of Bloomington
The MAGA politician who introduced a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness has been arrested for allegedly soliciting a teen for sex. According to police, Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn had arranged to meet someone who he thought was a 16-year-old girl for sex. Unknown to him, he had been texting police, who arrested him when he arrived at the arranged meeting location. His arrest comes just a day after he and four other Republican state senators introduced a senate bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness. The purported syndrome has been used by Donald Trump and his supporters to dismiss and discredit his critics. Eichorn’s bill describes it as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.” Symptoms supposedly include the “verbal expressions of intense hostility” towards the president or acts of violence towards him and his supporters. Eichorn, who is married with four children according to his biography page, was booked into the Bloomington Police Department jail and will be transported to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center.
