Will Ms. Nancy ask him to resign?

No, but the Kongressional black caucus will be outraged that the government is picking unfairly on a black man. Listen for the latest for Dee revin Al and Dee Revin Jessie.

This is just further proof of my thesis that the elected representatives from a district are indeed representative of the majority of the voters in that district.
