The New York Times reported Thursday that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito displayed an upside-down flag, a “Stop the Steal” symbol, at his home in the weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Alito tried shifting blame onto his wife for a supposed political disagreement she had with a neighbor, which Rachel Maddow criticized on MSNBC later that day.
On Friday, Fox News’ Shannon Bream tweeted that she “spoke directly” with Alito and he elaborated on the excuse, saying that the “neighbor on their street had a ‘F--- Trump’ sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21.”
