So another insurrectionist flag was flown at Alito's vacation house

According to Jodi Kantor of the NYT, the flag was observed in 3 different months.

The poor unlucky guy had nasty neighbors at two different houses in two different states? And the only way to address the problem was to pull out an insurrectionist flag?

Or did they rent the NJ home to tenants who are to blame and who now are residing under the bus?

Another type of provocative flag that was flown during the breach of the US Capitol by extremist supporters of Donald Trump on January 6 2021 was also reportedly flown outside a summer residence of US supreme court justice Samuel Alito – following a similar, prior incident.

Last summer, the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which originates from the Revolutionary war and has in recent years become a symbol of far-right Christian extremism, was flown outside Alito’s summer home in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.

According to photographs obtained by the outlet and as interviews with multiple neighbors and passersby, the flag was flown last July and September. The newspaper reported that the flag was visible in a Google street view image from late August. It remains unclear whether the flag was flown consistently throughout last summer.

The New York Times report comes just days after it reported that an upside-down American flag was flown outside Alito’s Virginia home just days after the January 6 Capitol riots.
