Bronco 25,062 Posted October 17, 2025 Share Posted October 17, 2025 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/multiple-gop-congressional-offices-received-flags-optical-illusion-swa-rcna238059 Multiple GOP congressional offices earlier this year received American flags with "optical illusion" swastikas embedded in them, two Republican sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. The news comes one day after Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, called the flag with the swastika “vile” and “deeply inappropriate” after the symbol was seen in one of his staffers’ offices in the background of a meeting. One of the sources, whose office received a flag back in January, said it was initially difficult to see the flag's swastika with the naked eye, calling it an “optical illusion.” But once the swastika in the center of the flag was discovered, the flag was thrown out, the source said. The matter is also being investigated by the GOP-led House Administration Committee, in addition to the U.S. Capitol Police. Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It’s unclear who handed out the flags to the congressional offices and what the intention was, which is part of what is being investigated. Taylor denounced the symbol Wednesday, saying in a statement, "I condemn it in the strongest terms." The gays know how to party 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're incorporating good fortune and well being into the American flag. 5 hours ago, Lord Mayhem said: The layers to get to this point...

It's an incredibly simple "design" that has no finesse or artistic merit. It was obviously made by someone who has no clue about composition. Fitting considering right wingers are notoriously bankrupt on creativity. In regards to the manufacturing, it looks like either someone knew someone who knew someone who works at one of the flag printing factories and has some level of clearance to alter the way the flags are printed. Or that person acted alone. Who can say for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
