Washington Post Knew of Alito Flag Incident on Biden’s Inauguration Day, Chose Not to Report
May 25, 2024, 05:55 PM
The Washington Post recently disclosed that it had knowledge of an incident involving an upside-down U.S. flag flown at Justice Samuel Alito's residence as early as Biden’s Inauguration Day in January 2021. The flag-raising, reportedly carried out by Martha-Ann Alito, was linked to a dispute with neighbors rather than political motives. Despite a tense encounter between a Washington Post reporter and the Alitos on Inauguration Day, the newspaper chose not to report the story at the time. The decision was based on the belief that the incident was not politically significant. The Washington Post even obtained a statement from Alito during their initial investigation.
