However, when addressing the principles of the Republican Party, Johnson said, "We fought the Nazis. We've defended that evil ideology."

Johnson was addressing an incident where a staffer of Republican Representative Dave Taylor appeared to have a swastika in the background of a video call.

"He says that that's not his, and there's a proper investigation ongoing," Johnson told reporters. "And the congressman did exactly what he should have done and that is report it."

Johnson said he could not comment more until the investigation has been completed, but "obviously, that is not the principles of the Republican Party."

The image was publicized when an X account called The Rooster, which comments on Ohio politics, shared a screengrab from a virtual meeting that appeared to show one of Taylor’s staffers, Angelo Elia, sitting in front of the flag.
