Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., faced criticism on social media for comments she made about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during an exchange involving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and an upside-down American flag post.
Ocasio-Cortez questioned if Alito influenced Greene’s statement in response to Trump’s trial conviction. Alito had faced controversy due to a flag flown outside his home being linked to pro-Trump supporters. However, it was revealed that the incident was not politically motivated.
