Swastikaβ Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An βoptical illusionβ and βeasy to missβ
The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder.
Multiple sources tell Fox β including those investigating the issue β the flag in question is an American flag β but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And hereβs the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo.
One source described this as an βoptical illusion.β Another said the swastika was βeasy to miss.β
Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera.
It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag β which featured a swastika which wasnβt obvious to the naked eye.
lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"

Itβs obvious that Trump behaves with Putin in a way that is unique (including compared to Xi). My theory is that Putin understands knows that Trump was psychologically reliant on his father to both keep him afloat financially and build up his ego (Fred Trump used to tell DJT, βYou are a kingβ) 1/

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasnβt a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
