Justice Alito Tries, Fails Miserably To Explain Flag Scandal

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is under fire after news revealed that he flew the upside-down American flag—the same symbol adopted by some Trump supporters who deny the election results—outside his home in the days following the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Alito, of course, blamed his wife, but that story doesn't hold water for several reasons. The Justice claimed that his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, flew the flag in response to a neighbor who displayed a "F--- Trump" sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus. Except, there is a problem with that.
