Sam Alito Flew Seditionist Flag Outside His House in 2021
Jodi Kantor, reporting for The New York Times:
After the 2020 presidential election, as some Trump supporters
falsely claimed that President Biden had stolen the office, many
of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their
cars and in online posts: an upside-down American flag.
One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the
residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in
Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with
neighbors.
How in the world did this not come to light before now?
“I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,”
Justice Alito said in an emailed statement to The Times. “It was
briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of
objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”
Profile in courage.
