FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: A swastika was seen on an altered American flag behind a staffer for Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH), stirring controversy, though the House Republican said it was part of a “ruse” targeting several GOP offices.
The U.S. Capitol Police were called, prompting an investigation. Taylor says new details have emerged from the investigation.
Speaking to Fox News, Taylor said, “New details have emerged from a coordinated investigation into the vile symbol that appeared in my office.
“Numerous Republican offices have confirmed that they were targeted by an unidentified group or individual who distributed American flags bearing a similar symbol, which were initially indistinguishable from an ordinary American flag to the naked eye.”
“After a full-scale internal investigation, I am confident that no employee of this office would knowingly display such a despicable image, and the flag in question was taken down immediately upon the discovery of the obscured symbol it bore.
“As I’ve said previously, I unequivocally condemn hate in any form and continue to collaborate with Capitol Police and the Committee on House Administration to uncover additional details in this investigation.”
