US Capitol police investigating flag with swastika in Republican representative’s office – report

Note that the Politico link does have a swastika. It's not in the middle of a white circle, but perhaps more disturbing. This feels like an unironic retelling of "It Wasn't Me" from the turn of the century. They really do believe people are this stupid.

US Capitol police are reportedly investigating after a US flag bearing a swastika was discovered inside the office of Republican House member Dave Taylor of Ohio.

The image, obtained by Politico, shows a modified flag featuring red and white stripes arranged in the form of a swastika – which is virtually synonymous with the Nazis’ genocidal regime. The flag was displayed on what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, one of Taylor’s staff members, during a virtual meeting.

Other items pinned nearby include a pocket constitution and a congressional calendar. It remains unclear whether Elia had any connection to the display.

“I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office,” Taylor said in a statement to the Cinci> nnati Enquirer.

Buckingham fucking Palace has fewer hedges than that worthless statement.
