It's the workers who have to show up and not know if they're going to get their next paycheck.

I didn't notice that before, but I think you are right.

Also, I'll point out that the swastika is obvious from looking at the flag.

It's not one of those things where it's subtle and like maybe the person who put it up just thought it was an American flag and didn't realize there was a swastika.

It's certainly obvious.

I think there may be some relevance to this idea that it was like homemade because maybe it was just a prank.

maybe that would let the person who put up the flag off the hook.

And it's actually the person who went in and changed it, who would be responsible here.

Yeah, my sense is that Dave Taylor, the congressman, didn't have a direct influence on what happened here, but it could very well be the responsibility of the employee who works at that cubicle and they've identified the employee, but that person's not responding to comments.

To me, that sounds a bit suspicious, right?

That's weird.

elaborate on what happens maybe he has to go through the chain of command right because like he's working for this congressman and so what he says is going to reflect on that congressperson so I understand how you would want to coordinate things but to just stay silent about it that to me doesn't make a whole lot of sense and then this also kind of ties into that group chat that we learned

about yesterday having to do with the young Republicans who are saying things like, I love Hitler and all these racist things in their group chat.

Well, it sort of reflects on David Taylor to a degree because if he's hiring people who have viewpoints like this, well, he's putting himself in some territory where he shouldn't be, right?

Because these types of things could possibly happen.

It doesn't mean he's directly responsible, but this is just what these viewpoints have led to in this country.

Right.

And like, what if we find out we get to the bottom of all this and it was just a prank?

The person who put up the swastika isn't actually a Nazi.

They don't believe in these ultra far right viewpoints.
