Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, says he condemns an image found in his Washington office that appears to depict a “vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee.”
He did not elaborate on that symbol. But a Politico story on the matter included a picture it obtained of an American flag altered to include a swastika. The flag was attached to a bulletin board.
“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,” Taylor said. “Upon learning of this matter, I immediately directed a thorough investigation alongside Capitol Police, which remains ongoing. No further comment will be provided until it has been completed.”
Taylor made the statement on his congressional website with a headline that referred to the matter as “office vandalism.”
