Republicans Have a Real Nazi Thing Going On

A swastika was found in a GOP congressman’s D.C. office soon after the Young Republicans’ “I love Hitler” Telegram leak.

As Republicans are finding ways to push the Trump agenda through Congress during the government shutdown, they are finding themselves sidetracked by an annoying and difficult image problem.

Some of their young staffers seem to be obsessed with Nazis — and not in a “Nazis are bad” way.

Incident in Representative Dave Taylor's Office

The latest issue comes from the office of Representative Dave Taylor of Ohio.

On Wednesday, Politico reported that the U.S. Capitol Police were called to his office because an “American flag altered to include a swastika” was displayed on a cubicle wall behind the seat of legislative aide Angelo Elia, who graduated from college two years ago.
