Flying an historic US flag is now an "event"?

âAs I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the
flying of that flag,â Alito wrote of reports and photos showing an
upside-down American flag flying outside of his Virginia home after the
Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. âI was not even aware of the upside-down
flag until it was called to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked
my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.â
âMy wife is fond of flying flags. I am not,â Alito wrote. âI was not
familiar with the âAppeal to Heavenâ flag when my wife flew it. She may
have mentioned that it dates back to the American Revolution, and I
assumed she was flying it to express a religious and patriotic message.
I was not aware of any connection between this historic flag and the
âStop the Steal Movement,â and neither was my wife.â
