The left believes they have discovered something, buti doubt it” But it appears they have instead discovered a sound investment decision that may resonate with everyday Americans.
American flag that leftists care about
Last week, Obama cleric Jodi Kanter of the New York Times said:
stir up concern Regarding the “Stop the Steal” symbol allegedly displayed at Justice Alito’s home after the 2020 election. Cantor’s “stop the theft symbol” apparently meant the American flag hung upside down, which historically has symbolized distress when life or property is threatened.
The report said Alito’s wife, Martha Ann Alito, temporarily posted the controversial symbol “after a neighbor used offensive and derogatory language on a yard sign.” .
“The flag clearly violates ethics rules and may call into question Judge Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.”
Justice Alito told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream that neighbors had posted “F*** Trump” signs within 50 feet of where children waited for school buses. Told. When Judge Alito’s wife voiced her concerns about the sign, neighbors allegedly “used vulgar language, including the ‘C-word.'”
“The flag is a clear violation of ethics rules and could cast doubt on Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot,” Cantor said, citing so-called “experts.” he suggested.
Even though Mr. Alito told the Times he had nothing to do with the flag-raising and relayed his wife’s rationale, Mr. Cantor said his unnamed neighbor’s political interpretation and hostile ” Relying on the insights of “experts,” he suggested the judge’s possible involvement in the January 6 incident. Affects his credibility in court.

Apparently following the same template, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D.N.Y.)

At this time Former Marshall Project activist Abby VanSickle supported Cantor’s hit.
In addition to suggesting that Alito should recuse himself, the Times also criticized Justice Thomas for not recusing himself from the January 6th incident.
Just divestment
meanwhile
slate Left-wing blogs such as worked hard over the weekend to turn the interpretation by one of Justice Alito’s neighbors into a courtroom scandal, but they appear to be far from changing Justice Alito’s attitude.
On Monday, Law Doak did his part to keep the campaign alive, publishing a blog post
qualified“Judge Alito sold his Bud Light stock during the anti-trans boycott movement.”
CNBC and other mainstream organizations as well.
Carried the story, months after Americans continued to boycott Bud Light over its collaboration with cross-dressing activists, reusing Justice Alito’s alleged insight into selling off his Anheuser-Busch InBev stock. The Daily Beast, as well as the New Republic,
Flagged The sale is “suspicious.”
Attorney General Doak cited a periodic transaction report in the federal Judicial Financial Disclosure Reporting Database that Alito “sold at least a portion of his Anheuser-Busch stock and purchased Molson Coors stock on Monday, August 14, 2023. ” he pointed out.
Justice Alito allegedly sold between $1,000 and $15,000 of AB InBev stock shortly after AB InBev announced a 10% drop in quarterly sales in the U.S. and the sale of its beer brands, and shortly after the ongoing boycott of Bud Light in response to Dylan Mulvaney’s celebration of “365 Days of Girls’ Generation.”

Analysts at global asset management firm Bernstein warned that Anheuser-Busch InBev should expect a “permanent 15% haircut.” And businesses associated with Anheuser-Busch began to close.
Despite the innocuousness of this revelation, CNBC framed it as follows: “This deal, despite a recently adopted code of conduct instructing the justices, This prompted new accusations that Alito, as a person, is involved in or aligned with partisan politics.” “To refrain from political activity.”

Democrats and their media allies have been trying for years to neutralize Alito at the high court.
Weeks before Mr. Alito sold his shares in Anheuser-Busch InBev, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts calling for Mr. Alito to resign. Moore v. United Statesa tax case on the Supreme Court’s docket for next term.
