Flags altered in a similar way have surfaced around the Capitol.
Several Republican Hill offices received American flags bearing “obscured” swastika symbols, Rep. Dave Taylor said a day after an image surfaced of one hanging in his office.
Taylor, an Ohio Republican, said in a statement Thursday that it was part of an orchestrated campaign.
But the Hill aide — granted anonymity to speak openly — said that flag was “obvious and unusual enough for us to take a photo before throwing it out.”
“It was plainly obvious to us that there was a swastika on the flag with the naked eye,” the staffer said. There was no investigation, and the flag was thrown away, “like we would hate mail,” the staffer said.
“New details have emerged from a coordinated investigation into the vile symbol that appeared in my office,” Taylor’s statement read.
Fox News said it was an optical illusion.
That article was a perfect example of gaslighting, treating quotes from people who said it was hard to notice and another that said it only showed up while taking a picture as if they were reasonable, but still quoting someone who said it was obvious and they threw it away.
Then focusing on the optical illusion bullshit for the title. Just giving all the excuses for right wingers to say it wasn’t obvious.
Literally don’t believe your eyes.
What’s the illusion? Illusions have effects. So they want it to look like a swastika?
Anything but admitting you’re a filthy Nazi that deserves to be in the ground. Fucking cowardly yank. Own your racism, chicken shit pussy
You know that might be enough reasonable doubt if not for the other dozens of stories showing Republicans being Nazi shitbags including the one this week
Bullshit.
Just another “My wife did it…” GOP lie.
Wow, why would anyone vote for somebody so easily tricked by Nazis?
I don’t appreciate your ruse.
Ruses should be hanged!
Ruse? You mean because they found it? The ruse was to keep it hidden right? Right next to the pointy hat and robes?
I mean it’s possible they get fan mail. People used to send Reagan jelly beans because he liked them too.
I’m to believe in 2025 the white house can’t track who is making and sending these through USPS?
Well why would they track a package from turning point USA?
The absurd amount of “budget cuts” under this admin is to ensure the truth of things gets buried/lost.
If you’re gonna lie at least make it believable. If he said one of his staffers put it up one day when he was out and he never noticed then that would actually be a believable story.
Except then the follow up question is “why do you have Nazis in your staff”?
A prankkk
There was no investigation, and the flag was thrown away, “like we would hate mail,” the staffer said.
Based
This can be put to rest quite decisively:
Get fingerprints.
Or would that undermine the prank theory?
