    [Dave] Taylor [(R-Ohio)] believes it is the result of “foul play or vandalism,” the spokesperson said.

    Looks like it’s purposefully arranged on the pinboard along with the other baubles, so if it was “foul play or vandalism”, they’d have to have arranged the entire board.

        Would have been a lot easier to print off a nazi flag and put that over something, or just somewhere on the pinboard than modifying an existing flag like that, as vandalism.

          Printing in an office leaves a trace, two white bookmark-size sticky notes and red marker is pretty untraceable. And I imagine that red white and blue sticky notes are not hard to find at the Capitol. Look closer at the picture.

    “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. “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, it looks like someone modified one of those shitty little plastic flags you get on the 4th of July with some paper and a marker
