Pictures surfaced of a flag flying upside down - a symbol adopted by Trump supporters to protest President Biden’s 2020 victory - at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito days before Biden’s 2021 inauguration. Ashley Parker, David French, and Jeff Mason join Andrea Mitchell to discuss the incident and the state of the 2024 race.

    They dont wear white hoods anymore, instead they wear red hats and fly flags upside down.
  • @DuluthPab
    Alito and Thomas have probably done permanent damage to the Court, I find it really tough to pretend they are objective about anything.
  • @joemartinez4997
    I am not sure how you can be in the Highest court in the land and still not trust our voting system. How ignorant do you have to be. All the education, what a waste. If these judges want to follow one man instead of the law. Remove them so they can go work on his campaign.
  • @twinpeaksVVV
    If a neighbor puts up a sign that uses offensive language, don't you just report it to the police and ask them to have it taken down? Clearly Alito is totally compromised and unfit to serve. on the Supreme Court.
  • @timages
    In typical conservative cowardice Alito won't admit to what he did, it's despicable that this is a Supreme Court Justice. These people are determined to tear this country down.
  • @JJ-gg4xm
    SCOTUS no shame, no ethics, no moral compass
  • @johncraig2623
    Alito's inverted flag is disturbing, but it's not nearly as serious as Ginni Thomas's actions.
  • @laurie113
    Both Alito and Thomas need to be KICKED OUT IMMEDIATELY. Term limits
  • @TheOneMonk
    An Insurrecionist ex-President running for the highest office, an Insurrectionist as Speaker of the Hosue - and Insurrectionists on the SC. This is a code red situation.
  • @kayezbiciak544
    Alito has made so many excuses for so many different questionable acts, I don't believe a single word he says. Alito the Leaker should resign.
  • @user9b2
    It may not be the same, but it is still called corruption.
  • @PKing-px5dg
    Now we know why the Supreme Court didn't invoke the 14th Amendment, they would have to remove some Supreme Judges if they did!
  • @infochannel392
    It's very simple. Alito doesn't believe in the rule of law or court decisions. There were over sixty cases brought to contest the vote and all failed. All of them. So alito is saying he doesn't respect the rule of law.
  • Shouldn"t blame everyone for ones childness. Marjorie Toad Greene needs to find a street corner. She has zero business in a adult position. Alitos excuse makes zero sense.
  • @HostileRespite
    How long are we going to accept these bogus excuses and demand accountability???
  • @2muchscott
    BS! Both are the same! We have allowed are Supreme Court to be manipulated by politics! Same Thing! Both should resign and if not I would say once the Dems get control of all 3 branches, impeach both of them! For myself and other independent voters, this is starting to make a lot of us nervous as it shows that one group is not acting in good faith. I have both conservative and liberal view points on things and I do not want to see our highest court be influenced by any political movement, especially not one led by Trump!
  • @bobbyd6680
    Just disgusting. Of the three branches of federal government, the SC is supposed to be the least political if not entirely apolitical. That is why the Constitution allows for lifetime appointments.
  • @richyp64
    This is such a threat to our democracy. I've actually experienced these red hats first hand and the trauma they cause. They drive around the community with those big American flags waving off the back of their cars while shouting USA and it's absolutely terrifying to experience.
