“Stop the Steal” Symbol Flown at Justice Alito’s House as He Weighed Election Cases 5/17/24

The Mark Thompson Show

According to a New York Times report, an upside down American flag flapped in the breeze over Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s house in 2021. The symbol historically means distress, but was co-opted by “Stop the Steal “activists who claimed the 2020 presidential election was not valid. Justices are supposed to avoid the appearance of any bias, but the flag was present as Justice Alito considered cases regarding the election. He claims his wife put the flag up in response to a neighbor’s offensive yard sign. Neighbors say Martha-Ann Alito had an ongoing argument with neighbors who planted an anti-Trump sign with an expletive on their front lawn. Political analyst and journalist Michael Shure will join us to discuss Justice Alito’s flag, the Trump trial and much more.
