Taylor ordered the investigation of the wall of an aide in his own fucking office where he works some days only after someone outside his office saw the flag on a Zoom call. The aide in question, is this member of the master race:

Angelo Elia, an aide to Republican Rep Taylor from Ohio, had an American Flag with a Swastika blended into the stripes on his cubicle wall. He is, clearly, of the master race with his overbite, large low ears, beady eyes and tall hair designed to hide a nearly flat cranium.

Love when a guy with a name like “Angelo Elia” thinks the white supremacists don’t have a plan for him and his family.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
