The White House is staying out of the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after reports of a pro-Trump election denial display at his Virginia home in the days before President Joe Biden took office.
The flagpole on the judge’s front lawn had flown an upside-down American flag in late 2020 and early 2021, according to a report from The New York Times on Thursday. The traditional military distress symbol was repurposed as a political symbol to indicate rejection of the legitimacy of Mr Biden’s election victory over former president Donald Trump by his GOP supporters.
