According to a report by The New York Times, another flag similar to those used by the rioters during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was seen outside a residence belonging to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. This comes after the recent uproar surrounding an inverted American flag spotted at Alito’s residence near Washington.
Last summer, the flag known as the “Appeal to Heaven” was seen flying outside Alito’s beach vacation home. This discovery is being discussed in light of recent scrutiny surrounding an incident involving an inverted American flag outside his residence in Washington. The incident drew criticism and calls for Alito to recuse himself from cases related to former President Donald Trump.
Alito and the Supreme Court have refrained from providing any commentary regarding the “Appeal to Heaven” flag and its significance. Alito explained that his wife flew the inverted American flag during a dispute with neighbours, emphasising that he had no involvement in the act.
Photographs obtained by the Times reveal that a white flag with a green pine tree was seen at Alito’s New Jersey beach home on multiple occasions between July and September 2023. However, it is still unclear how long the display will be up and whether Alito will be present at the property.
