"Alito's Distress Flag Controversy Resurfaces After 3 Years"
TL;DR Summary
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's claim that his wife hung an upside-down American flag due to a neighbor's anti-Trump sign is disputed by the neighbors, who allege Martha-Ann Alito instigated the conflict and spat at their car. The New York Times corroborated the neighbors' account with text messages and a police call. The incident has led to calls for Justice Alito to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection.
