Minnesota Sen. Justin Eichorn was arrested on March 17, accused of soliciting a 17-year-old girl for prostitution in Bloomington. [More]
Of course, Democrats are having a field day with emotionally charged words like “looking to have sex with someone’s child” and “No one who solicits children belongs anywhere near public office or the State Capitol,” but the fact remains, the age of consent in Minnesota is 16.
But I agree, such behavior in a political leader is not only twisted but leaves him vulnerable to blackmail compromise, and he’s going to lose more than his seat: How about his wife, and the respect of his four children, not to mention his freedom…?
And on top of that he hurt every constituent who believed in the principles he espoused but did not live by, and gave the Democrats a weaponized sound bite to use against them.
Gun owners are already distancing themselves.
This isn’t aging well:
Neither will this.
I hope somebody is telling him he’s already devastated his family enough and if he doesn’t want to have his memory be the stuff of nighmares for the rest of their lives, he won’t even think of trying to get out of this by eating a gun.
