Overview

• Politico published the image captured during a virtual conference inside Rep. Dave Taylor’s Cannon Building office.
• Taylor confirmed the setting, condemned the symbol as abhorrent, and said he initiated a comprehensive investigation.
• His office described the discovery as possible vandalism or sabotage and reported it on Tuesday afternoon.
• The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed receipt of the complaint, with press communications curtailed by the shutdown.
• Staffer Angelo Elia appears in the photo and is not known to be under official investigation, and the episode follows reporting on racist, pro-Hitler chats among young GOP operatives that JD Vance dismissed as childish.
