New Zealand deplorable: Swastika on top of South Canterbury panel beaters labelled ‘grossly insensitive’ - NZ Herald 

And looking at the photo is not only a swastika but also SS lightning bolts just on top of it, which the paper failed to mention (probably the journalist doesn't even understand)

And the owner said:

 

When approached by the Herald the owner of the building, Jake Rayner, said he put the swastika up to “draw attention or something”.

 

“It’s not my ideology. Nothing draws attention like a swastika,” Rayner said.

 

In my opinion, if you double down on a swastika and the SS bolts, there's only one explanation - it's not marketing but simple racism.

The NY Times - Suozzi wins New York special election, replacing George Santos

breaking

Democrat Tom Suozzi won a hotly contested special election for Congress on Tuesday, the Associated Press projected, retaking a seat in suburban New York and offering his party some reassurance amid high anxiety about President Biden’s political vulnerabilities.

 

Suozzi beat Republican nominee Mazi Pilip to replace Republican George Santos, who was indicted for fraud and then expelled from Congress late last year amid revelations that he fabricated much of his life story.

 

Suozzi’s victory capped a long list of Democratic wins in recent special elections ...

 

EDIT: updated result

Even if it is 'just' marketing it is completely utterly totally unacceptable. Anyone who doesn't understand that really needs to study some history. People who play with this are vile backward inexcusable morons!

How ironic that she describes herself as a "strong conservative woman" when Hunter Biden is in the room and leaves when she starts to speak, but runs away in a huff if she gets challenged on something 🙄

What the hell. Stupid is as stupid does.

Last month, Fox News host Jesse Watters speculated that Swift might be “a front for a covert political agenda” — which a Pentagon spokesperson shook off. Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro also urged Swift to not “get involved in politics. We don’t wanna see you there.”

Why? Are you jealous? Scared? Spare me.
