Controversial Flag at Alito's Home Sparks Recusal Demands
TL;DR Summary
A flag associated with Christian nationalism and efforts to overturn the 2020 election was seen at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's beach house. Originally from the Revolutionary War, the "Appeal to Heaven" flag has been popularized by the New Apostolic Reformation and is linked to right-wing extremism and support for Donald Trump. The flag's modern symbolism includes references to January 6 and Christian supremacy. House Speaker Mike Johnson also displayed the flag, denying any connection to the Capitol riot.
