AOC demands Senate Democrats investigate reports of Jan. 6 flags flown at Supreme Court Justice Alito's home

Ocasio-Cortez calls on Senate Democrats to issue subpoenas, open probes into upside-down American, 'Appeal to Heaven' flags at Alito's home

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., demanded the Democrat-controlled Senate investigate reports that a flag associated with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol was flown at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home.

In an interview on MSNBC’s "All in with Chris Hayes" on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez described the reports as "an extraordinary breach of not just the trust and the stature of the Supreme Court, but we are seeing a fundamental challenge to our democracy." She said that Congress did not have to wait to take action against Alito until Democrats had a majority in the House.

"Samuel Alito has identified himself with the same people who raided the Capitol on Jan. 6, and is now going to be presiding over court cases that have deep implications over the participants of that rally," the progressive "Squad" member said. "And while this is the threat to our democracy, Democrats have a responsibility for defending our democracy. And in the Senate, we have gavels."

"There should be subpoenas going out. There should be active investigations that are happening," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And I believe that when House Democrats take the majority, we are preparing and ensuring to support the broader effort to stand up our democracy. But I also believe that when Democrats have power, we have to use it. We cannot be in perpetual campaign mode. We need to be in governance mode, we need to be in accountability mode with every lever that we have. Because we cannot take a Senate majority for granted, a House majority for granted or a White House for granted."

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a second flag of a type carried by rioters during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was displayed outside a house owned by Alito.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a second flag of a type carried by rioters during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was displayed outside a house owned by Alito.

It was an historical flag from the American Revolution. You know, our heritage. It's been around for nearly 250 years - not just since Jan. 6, 2021.

These people are idiots.

NY Times comes up with another flag incident to aid Dem attack on Alito
May 23, 2024 | Vivek Saxena

The New York Times is once again making a fuss over Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s dissenting opinions.

The Times previously threw a conniption after Alito’s neighbors told them he’d flown an inverted flag outside his home in the days after the Jan. 6th riot.

Alito subsequently claimed his wife had flown the flag “in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs,” but the Times still ran a story about it anyway.

The Times was mad because an inverted flag was also a symbol used by former President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” protesters — and everybody knows how the Times feels about Trump and his supporters.

Weeks later, the Times is out with a new hit piece accusing Alito of flying the Pine Tree Flag, also known as the Appeal to Heaven Flag, outside his New Jersey vacation home in 2023.

“Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the ‘Stop the Steal’ campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms,” the Times complains.

Uh huh …

But critics say this is BS, and that the flag is nothing more than “a famous historic flag commissioned by George Washington.”

They’re right.
