Ohio Republican congressional hopeful J.R. Majewski removed the US Air Force insignia from his website on Thursday after The Daily Beast inquired about whether he had gotten permission to use the logo in compliance with Department of Defense policy.
Majewski, a Trump-endorsed Air Force veteran who served from 1999 to 2003, has been on the ropes over how he repeatedly misrepresented his combat service. Last week, he lost the support of the House GOP’s campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee, which pulled its $960,000 ad buy from his race against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
On their website, the Department of Defense outlines that those seeking political office should not use “Military Service marks” as “part of political campaigns, inasmuch as it could create an appearance of endorsement for that candidate.”
