Martha-Ann Alito, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito‘s wife, asserted from the beginning that her display of an upside-down American flag was meant as a “signal of distress.”
A since-retired Washington Post reporter included coverage of an exchange shared with Alito on the day of President Joe Biden’s inauguration in a report published Saturday. She brushed off any questions regarding the flag, which at the time was not flying upside down, claiming, “It’s an international signal of distress.” Her husband recently explained that it was born out of a confrontation with their neighbor.
