MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski cast doubt on U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito's explanations for flags associated with right-wing extremism flown at his properties.
The conservative justice blamed his wife for an upside-down American flag displayed outside their Virginia home between the Jan. 6 insurrection and Inauguration Day and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag associated with Christian nationalism that was flown at their New Jersey vacation home, but the "Morning Joe" co-host didn't trust his explanation.
"I think in this election, the Supreme Court is definitely taking center stage for a lot of people who might not have thought of it so much in their vote," Brzezinski said. "But with Alito hanging flags upside-down in his house and then lying about it., bold-faced lying about it. We don't know if his wife did it, we don't know if anything they're saying is true. There was some altercation with a neighbor where the wife was called a bad name. That happened after the flag was hung upside-down outside their house and at their beach house. We don't know what the truth is about that because they keep lying about it, so that's one Supreme Court justice."
