Rep. Dave Taylor responded to reports that a flag bearing a swastika was spotted in his office on Wednesday, calling it “vile and deeply inappropriate.”

“I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office,” the Ohio Republican shared 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.”

An American flag with its red stripes twisted into a swastika was reportedly displayed in the office during a Zoom call with one of Taylor’s staffers. A screenshot of a video call with the staffer was shared by Ohio politics blog, The Rooster.
