56. State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested in Bloomington
Tue Mar 18, 2025, 04:17 PM
Mar 2025

Why does this Republican Party seem to attract these nefarious types? Seems to be a catch-all for perverts, rapists, predators, child molesters, sadistic weirdos, and scum from all walks of life. Almost is a prerequisite to being an elected official in the party. Anyone who thinks clearly, has morals and intelligence, compassion, fairness and believes in equality and justice is considered to be way outside the "norm".
