So it doesn't seem like it was his flag but that of one of his staffers. I can say there is a non-negligible chance someone at my work could have something like this and I wouldn't notice. Now I'm not saying he should be praised for meeting the bare minimum requirement for condemning that flag, but unless there's more to the story proving something more insidious, I don't feel like ragging on him is the best course of action.
Sure, there is room for reasonable doubt. It may have been a staffer who put it up, or even a visitor to the office who pinned it up as a grim prank or to frame the congressman. But this guy's party is currently championing mass arrest, imprisonment, and deportation of thousands of people with no due process, so my willingness to give him any benefit of the doubt is long gone.
Well that’s not subtle at all. Yikes.
"Were gonna find put who did that and give them a promotion!" - GOP
We know your Nazis you don't have to fake it any more.
I pissed my pants laughing at this skit and now even just seeing the .gif version makes me smile.
"it's under investigation"
Should be the shortest investigation in the history of investigations.
"Is this your cubicle?" "yes" "You're fucking fired."
Anything else is smoke and mirrors.
Uh, oh. Trump's not going to be happy to find out that one of his Republicans is ANTIFA.
“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.
He doesn’t specify if he’s talking about the swastika or if he’s talking about the American flag.
Yes.
Oblivious or Complicit, neither is something you want to run your government.
Republicans and MAGA are Nazis. It’s not rocket science.
FYI: Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, the congress critter in question.
"I condemn it in the strongest terms,".
Me too
