Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

What I don’t get is why he couldn’t have said (since he lied anyway) that it was in response to Jan. 6, signaling that it was “America in distress” in the first place. That, albeit a poor excuse, would have seemed SOMEWHAT honorable. But he told some idiotic 5th-grader lie instead.
