    Numerous Republican offices have confirmed that they were targeted by an unidentified group or individual who distributed American flags bearing a similar symbol, which were initially indistinguishable from an ordinary American flag to the naked eye,” he said. “My office was among those that were subjected to this ruse.”>

    I noticed it with my naked eyes. Is it a weird illusion that only happens on camera? Can you not see it standing in front of the object?

    It wasn’t me! It was the one armed liberal who snuck into my office in the middle of the night. How he lowered the rope and descended down from the skylight, I’ll never know! But I’m keeping that and the other Nazi gear where it is … it’s evidence!

    Wait wait, this schmuck claims that that swastika was indistinguishable with the naked eye? Seriously? That’s super fucking obvious swastika dead center of that flag?

    I just went to the flag shop and picked it in a hurry.

    It was a dog that dropped that paper bag with $50.000 on my porch.

    That woman must have broken in and drowned herself in my bathtub, I hate it when that happens.

    “I don’t appreciate you’re ruse ma’am”

    “My ruse?”

    “Yeah, your cunning attempt to trick me”
