​'Showing support for insurrectionists': CNN panel trashes Sam Alito for upside-down flag

The New York Times reported on Thursday that an upside-down American flag was seen flying at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's house after President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, and a CNN panel on Friday bashed him for a total lack of professionalism.

In the wake of Biden's victory, many Trump supporters flew American flags upside down to signal distress in the United States, and panelist David Frum argued that having an upside down flag at the house of a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice is "going to raise a lot of doubts about the legitimacy of the court," especially when it comes to the upcoming case on presidential immunity.

Pollster Sarah Longwell zeroed in on Alito's claim that his wife was the one who decided to fly the upside down flag at the house, and she linked it to Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and her involvement in trying to overturn the 2020 election results.

"Why are multiple Supreme Court justices' wives showing direct sympathy and support for insurrectionists?" she asked. "Ask yourself for a moment how crazy this is that the people who are going to be in charge of deciding things about Donald Trump and the next election... at the barest of minimums it shows the worst judgement."

She went on to note that the Supreme Court justices are in "the most important role and the least accountable role in our system of checks and balances, and now you have two of them where there are direct signals, direct sympathies with the insurrectionists."

"That is outrageous!" she exclaimed. "That is insane!"
