Overview

• Politico published a photo showing an American flag altered to form a swastika pinned inside Taylor’s Cannon Building suite.
• The image appeared behind legislative correspondent Angelo Elia during a virtual meeting, with no established link to his actions.
• Taylor called the symbol “vile and deeply inappropriate” and said it does not reflect the standards of his office.
• His staff reported the discovery to U.S. Capitol Police and said the incident could involve foul play or vandalism.
• Capitol Police provided no details due to a shutdown closure of its public information office, as coverage noted overlap with recent reporting on extremist content in Young Republican circles.
