Swastika Found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s Office - Capitol Police Called

A Republican congressman from Ohio is condemning the display in his office of an altered American flag that included a swastika, calling it “a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol” that is now under investigation by his office.

“I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office. The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Rep. Dave Taylor said in a statement.

Politico first reported the existence of the flag, which was spotted pinned to a bulletin board behind one of Taylor's staffers during a virtual meeting. A picture of the flag obtained by Politico shows the stripes in the American flag forming the Nazi symbol.

Taylor's office said the flag was "vandalism" and the congressman said it is being investigated.

"Upon learning of this matter, I immediately directed a thorough investigation alongside Capitol Police, which remains ongoing. No further comment will be provided until it has been completed,” Taylor said.

The Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"I guess I'm supposed to condemn it in the strongest terms."

What he really means.

Did he wink while making that statement?

"Deeply inappropriate"?

Try "totally appropriate."

“Inappropriate” is such a bullshit word.

[quote]r6 = “Inappropriate” is such a bullshit word.

It's fitting for when you wear cocktail length to a formal occasion.

What a lying sack of shit Taylor is.

If he doesn't immediately resign, he should be removed from office.

Dave Taylor has Nazi-face.

I can accept there is double standard in behaviors deemed acceptable from Repunblicans versus Democrats, however, I don't understand why the antisemitism hammer doesn't come down on them?

MTG talks of Jewish Space Lazers.

Musk gives a Nazi Salute live on TV at the inauguration.

Congressman has a Nazi flag pinned on a bulletin board.

Yet, only Democrats & University presidents haven't done enough to condemn antisemitism.

Schumer, did that book you wrote mention any of your Republican colleagues???

Where is fat 🐄 Elsie Steponak's condemnation? Remember she was SO worked up over anti-semitism at Harvard.

The entire Republican Party needs to be flushed down the shitter.

It was right out in the open on a bulletin board. Apparently nobody gave a shit until now.

This concerns me.
