Congressman Claims He Got A Traffic Ticket Because He's BlackPosted: 1 year ago by 2manyusernames He was pulled him over because he had swerved over the center line before making a left turn. Of course, he doesn't want to pay the $75 ticket so he slanders the police force saying he was pulled over because he's african-american not because he failed to obey traffic laws.
