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.
In a past life, the office down the hallway would definitely get some REALLY strange and fucked up stuff in the mail. And it was very common to have that “Hey, you gotta come see this” email. And taking photos wasn’t uncommon.
But those were photos of it in the box or on the table. Not hung up and displayed on a bulletin board.
Yeah let’s just hang it up on my office wall real quick so we can get a picture of the crazy hate mail flag hanging on my office wall!
“New details have emerged from a coordinated investigation into the vile symbol that appeared in my office,” Taylor’s statement read.
Bullshit.
Just another “My wife did it…” GOP lie.
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?
I ALSO hang up Ruses on my Wall!
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
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”?
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.
Wow, why would anyone vote for somebody so easily tricked by Nazis?
I don’t appreciate your ruse.
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.
The problem now is going to be Sora 2. Used or not, it will have a lot of fingers pointed at it for items like these.
I’m sure it’s no mistake that big tech made this available to everyone, for free, right now.
Ruses should be hanged!
