Jeffries calls on Alito to apologize for 'disrespecting' American flag

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) called on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Friday to apologize for “disrespecting” the American flag.

“Samuel Alito should apologize immediately for disrespecting the American flag and sympathizing with right-wing violent insurrectionists,” Jeffries said in a statement in a press release Friday. 

“He must recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 election and [former President Trump,]” the New York Democrat continued in the statement.
