But I wanted to talk to you about something directly, personally.

0:41.8

I'm feeling ashamed this morning, deeply saddened, and very angry over a story I read in the New York

0:51.1

Times. That story details the desecration of an American flag at the home

of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. The desecration of the flag is bad enough, but it was used

election. Flying the flag upside down is not a desecrative act. What it is is a symbol of distress.

1:42.7

The use of the inverted flag, claiming distress in solidarity with

1:48.9

the coup plotters and seditionists who attack the United States Capitol is an outrage.

1:54.7

And that it was done by a Supreme Court justice over which an ethical cloud already hangs
