Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's wife thinks she deserves a prize because she has to look at Pride flags, newly uncovered tape reveals.
Martha-Ann Alito — who threw her husband into national scandal by waving a "Stop the Steal" flag after Jan. 6, 2021 — made this comment on audio revealed Monday by Rolling Stone.
"You know what I want?” Mrs. Alito says. “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month.”

Mrs. Alito also considered designing her own flag with the word "vergogna."
"This is how I satisfy myself," she says. "It’s white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word ‘vergogna.’ ‘Vergogna’ in Italian means shame — vergogna. V-E-R-G-O-G-N-A. Vergogna.”
Alito's neighbors say the family launched a campaign of harassment against them as tensions mounted over political signs.
The audio comes from liberal documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor, who posed as a Christian conservative during a conversation with Mrs. Alito at a Supreme Court Historical Society dinner last week, Rolling Stone reports.
Windsor shared the audio on X where it can be heard in full.
"[It] paints a picture of a right-wing ideologue that matches with the private reputation that Mrs. Alito has developed in the Republican Party and judicial social circuits in the D.C. area and beyond," writes Rolling Stone.
"In the most jarring moment in the recording, Windsor attempts to pose the same prompt that she presented to Justice Alito, about how, in order to take America."
