Another flag − not an upside one, but a flag that said "Appeal to Heaven'' − carried by some of the people who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, flew over a home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito last summer, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The second flag, which the report said is a symbol for a religious strand of the “Stop the Steal” campaign, was raised over Alito's New Jersey vacation home in July and September of 2023.
The Times previously reported that an upside-down American flag flew over the justices Virginia home in January of 2021.
Alito told the Times his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, raised the inverted flag in response to a dispute with a neighbor and he “had no involvement whatsoever."
The Times said Alito declined to respond to questions about the beach house flag.
A spokesperson for the Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY to the latest report.
