Flags altered in a similar way have surfaced around the Capitol.

Several Republican Hill offices received American flags bearing “obscured” swastika symbols, Rep. Dave Taylor said a day after an image surfaced of one hanging in his office.

Taylor, an Ohio Republican, said in a statement Thursday that it was part of an orchestrated campaign.

But the Hill aide — granted anonymity to speak openly — said that flag was “obvious and unusual enough for us to take a photo before throwing it out.”

“It was plainly obvious to us that there was a swastika on the flag with the naked eye,” the staffer said. There was no investigation, and the flag was thrown away, “like we would hate mail,” the staffer said.
