An investigation has been launched after a swastika flag was seen inside a GOP congressman’s office.
Rep. Dave Taylor, a Trump-ally, said he launched a full investigation in coordination with Capitol Police after the flag, which featured red and white lines arranged in the shape of a swastika, was spotted on a wall in his office during a virtual meeting, POLITICO reported.
“I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office,” the Ohio lawmaker said in a statement to POLITICO. “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.”
“No further comment will be provided until it has been completed,” he said.
The photo shows that the flag appeared near Angelo Elia, one of Taylor’s staffers, though it’s unclear what connection, if any, the aide has to the flag.
