Minnesota Rep. Drew Christensen wants to ban cad bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. from his state and has authored a bill to enforce this, Entertainment Tonight reported.
Christensen is the latest to express his disdain toward Luyendyk after "The Bachelor" contestant swapped fianees during the final week of the series.
First, Luyendyk dropped Becca Kurfin, who is from Prior Lake, Minnesota, in a brutal breakup aired on Monday's finale and then proposed to runner-up Lauren Burnham on "After the Rose" the following day.
The double proposal cultivated hordes of haters for Luyendyk.
Taking to Twitter, Christensen posed a challenge to his followers.
"If this gets a thousand retweets I'll author a bill banning Arie from Minnesota," he said in a post on Tuesday, which was shared over 11,000 times as of Thursday morning.
He then posted a follow-up stating he was in the process of drafting the bill.
"Should I invite Becca to be my guest at Minnesota's State of the State Address next week?" he quipped.
The following day Christensen posted photos of the bill he had drafter.
"I'm a man of my word—here's the bill banning Arie," he said.
"The state of Minnesota hereby adopts a policy of zero tolerance of Arie Luyendyk Jr. from season 22 of The Bachelor," the letter reads, according to Fox News. "It is state policy that every person in the state has a right to live free from the presence of Arie Luyendyk Jr. in the state."
According to Fox News, the bill had not appeared on the Minnesota State Legislature site as of Thursday.
