Do you think that black lawmakers are being targeted unfairly? 

My answer is yes. And the reason why is not solely based on race.

I think our politicians are not being unfairly targeted, because they should be held accountable. They are our keepers of public trust.

No. I don’t think black politicians are being unfairly targeted. … The reality is, we are held to a higher standard.

No. I don’t think black politicians are being unfairly targeted. Corruption is corruption and needs to be exposed, regardless of the individual’s race.

I think they are easier targets for entrapment like bribes because they are not usually politicians who are well off!

Yes, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the president[-elect] getting in office but they always target blacks more than whites.
