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.

I think what amazes me the most is that is seems like every single maga politician is an absolute garbage person. You'd think sheerly by statistics there would have to be one who isn't but apparently that isn't the case.

I'm choosing to assume that by "good" you mean "successfully inconspicuous".
