WASHINGTON (AP) — A second flag of a type carried by rioters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was displayed outside a house owned by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

An “Appeal to Heaven” flag was flown outside Alito’s beach vacation home last summer.

An inverted American flag — another symbol carried by rioters — was seen at Alito’s home outside Washington less than two weeks after the violent attack on the Capitol.

News of the upside-down American flag sparked an uproar last week, including calls from high-ranking Democrats for Alito to recuse himself from cases related to former President Donald Trump.

He previously said the inverted American flag was flown by his wife amid a dispute with neighbors, and he had no part in it.

It was carried by rioters fueled by Trump’s “Stop the Steal” movement animated by false claims of election fraud.

News of the second flag brought renewed calls for Alito to step aside from the Trump-related cases. »
