AOC slammed for attempting to smear Justice Alito in taunt to Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took heat on social media for smearing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito while going after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., over an X post. The congresswoman from the Bronx slammed Greene’s upside-down American flag post that she shared in reaction to former President Donald Trump’s New York trial conviction. Ocasio-Cortez wondered if Alito inspired Greene's statement.

The upside-down flag had become controversial in recent weeks after The New York Times reported that it had been flying at Alito’s Virginia home around the time of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Times piece attempted to use the flag to link Alito to pro-Trump election deniers, describing it as a symbol adopted by some Trump supporters disputing the results of the 2020 presidential election.
