    Ohio state Rep. Emilia Sykes has had trouble on multiple occasions getting into the statehouse building and was even once told by security that she didn't "look like a legislator." https://abcn.ws/2HjnEkA pic.twitter.com/QQ2QzYiUJS

        A wizened old man with hair growing out of his ears and nose is the usual look.

        Before someone is "that guy" by commenting on the state Rep "race baiting" or saying "ABC News stories always tells a story ONE SIDED." Rep. Sykes obeyed the rules and showed her badge on multiple occasions. So keep that in mind before you typically go there.

        She is young and beautiful which is so not what legislators generally look like.

        Could it be that she's too young and pretty to easily pass for a grumpy grey old white man?

        Has she been the only person experiencing this? Why your report? Are you implying that this is because she is Afro American? This types of reports, united us, or divide us.

        If this had happened in Mississippi, I wouldn't be quite as surprised. Obviously, the contract with this security company needs to be voided.

        Not sure it’s because of her race. Her skin care regimen is on point because she looks like a teenager!
