"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, said Taylor in a statement, insisting the flag was the result of office vandalism."
"U.S. Capitol Police were called about an American flag altered to include a swastika and displayed inside the office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio), his spokesperson said. In an image of the Zoom call which circulated on social media, the item could be seen pinned to a wall, alongside other knick-knacks such as a pocket Constitution and a Republican congressional calendar. A spokesperson for the congressman blamed the flag on foul play or vandalism."
