'This Is Not Normal Stuff': Gov. Tim Walz Blasts Alito Over 'Stop The Steal' Flag Display
HuffPost
"This is just insanity," the Minnesota Democrat said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) on Friday shared his reaction to a new report saying that a symbol associated with the anti-democratic “Stop the Steal” campaign flew at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s house following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The New York Times on Thursday reported that an inverted American flag ― a symbol used by those who refused to accept Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election ― was displayed outside Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia, on Jan. 17, 2021, citing photos and interviews with neighbors. It’s unclear how long the flag stayed up.
Alito told the Times he had “no involvement” in the display, instead blaming his wife, Martha-Ann Alito.
“It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs,” the justice said.
In an interview with “CNN News Central,” Walz took issue with the excuse.
