‘It’s gross’: Rachel Maddow slams Samuel Alito’s ‘Stop the Steal’ flag

Rachel Maddow spoke with MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Thursday about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after The New York Times reported that an upside-down American flag was seen flying over his home in the weeks following the Jan. 6 insurrection. The inverted flag became a “Stop the Steal” symbol for Donald Trump’s supporters who were trying to overturn the 2020 election results.

Alito’s upside-down flag was seen on Jan. 17, 2021, which is when the Supreme Court was considering whether to hear a case regarding the results of the 2020 election.

“It's unsettling. It's gross,” Maddow said.
