“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff or myself,” stated Rep. Dave Taylor.

Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) stated on Wednesday that he is aware of “an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office.”

The congressman, whose office said that the statement related to “vandalism that occurred in his Washington, D.C. office,” added that 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.”

The congressman said that he “immediately directed a thorough investigation alongside Capitol Police, which remains ongoing.”

Politico printed an image that it said was “taken during a virtual meeting” and shows “an American flag altered to include a swastika and displayed inside the office of Rep. Dave Taylor.”

The flag is “pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, one of Taylor’s staffers,” per Politico. “Alongside the flag—with altered red and white lines in the shape of a swastika—are pinned images, including a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar.”

The publication reported that it is “unclear what role, if any, Elia had in the incident” and that he didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The film documents the circumstances of the small rural town of Gniewoszów, focusing on one of its last living survivors, along with a resident who says he saw Jews murdered there six months after the Nazis’ reign of terror ended.
The episodes will “reveal fascinating stories,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said.
“This week we are reminded that with true faith, eternal hope and the power of prayer, nothing can stop the people of God.”
Tehran was on the verge of having too many missiles and drones for its nuclear weapons program to be stopped, the U.S. secretary of state said.
“Their air and missile defense systems have largely been destroyed,” Adm. Brad Cooper stated.
