Justice Alito Under Fire for Alleged Ties to Capitol Rioters
TL;DR Summary
Pam Hemphill, a former Capitol rioter, claims that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was signaling to far-right groups by displaying certain flags outside his homes, including an "Appeal to Heaven" flag and an inverted American flag. Hemphill, who has since distanced herself from the far-right, argues that these symbols are used for communication among extremists. Alito, who is involved in key Supreme Court cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection, has not commented on the flags' significance.
