I Did Not See It!

Concrete evidence and flat out denials. Ohio Republican lawmaker claims he did not see the offensive flag in his Capitol Hill office.

Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) is blaming the left for a scandal. It's his free speech to promote his views. I mean those folks in Southeastern Ohio do not care. They'll still be dirt poor, still struggling for the American dream. As long as the Republicans keep you upset over Black crime, pornography, immigrants, drag shows, transgender athletes, shoplifters and antifa, they will keep voting for these folks.

Taylor's office was spotted with an American flag with the Nazi emblem. 

Taylor represents the 2nd Congressional District of Ohio. His district includes the outer suburbs of Cincinnati, outer suburbs of Columbus, Hillsboro, Chillicothe, Wilmington, Washington Court House, Ironton, Portsmouth, Circleville, Gallipolis and Jackson. The population of this area is 768,000 residents.

Taylor lives in Amelia, a former sundown town that was dissolved in 2019. He and his brother own Sardinia Ready Mix in Cincinnati.

Taylor is denying that he knew about this.

The lawmaker told the junk food media it is “a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol” that his office is investigating.

This legislative aide should have asked Dave Taylor and Steve Scalise how to conceal.

“I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office. 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," Rep. Dave Taylor said in a statement.

Politico first reported the existence of the flag, which was spotted pinned to a bulletin board behind one of Taylor's staffers during a virtual meeting. A picture of the flag obtained by Politico shows the stripes in the American flag forming the Nazi symbol.

Taylor's office said the flag was "vandalism," and Taylor said it is being investigated.

"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,” he said.

Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Angelo Elia, a legislative aid to Taylor was on a Zoom interview when the incident unfolded on Tuesday when the photo surfaced online and was later reported by Politico. 

This is America.

It showed a U.S. flag with its white stripes rearranged into a swastika symbol hanging behind Elia during a video call. The flag was spotted inside Taylor’s office in the Cannon House Office Building, prompting swift condemnation and an official investigation.

Young Republicans Foundation was caught up this week after a former member leaked to The Politico their chat logs from Telegram.

Taylor's district is heavily gerrymandered. It holds a +24 Republican favorability by the Cook PVI. 

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the Republicans and conservative agitators shared their thoughts about his death. Many of these folks went nuclear on everything. 

It's no secret that Republicans think very unfavorably of immigrants, Blacks, Muslims, transgender Americans and progressives.

It is no secret that Republicans love to push "freedom" while in reality act like the big government nannies they claim the Democrats are.
