McConnell: Leave Justice Samuel Alito Alone [VIDEO]

The Huffington Post reports:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told critics to lay off the Supreme Court following the revelation that an upside-down flag flew at the home of Justice Samuel Alito shortly after the Jan. 6 insurrection. The upside-down flag ― a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement protesting Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory ― was put up by Alito’s wife shortly after the attack on Congress as a result of a dispute with a neighbor.

“It seems to me there are nonstop attacks on the Supreme Court, week after week after week, so I’m not going to dignify that with a response,” McConnell told reporters at his weekly news conference Tuesday. “We need to leave the Supreme Court alone, protect them from people who went into their neighborhoods and tried to do them harm, look out for the Supreme Court — that’s part of the job of the administration,” the Kentucky Republican added.
