Fox's John Roberts: Alito's Neighbor 'Lucky He Didn't Pop Him In The Eye'
Never mind that there's every reason to doubt that any of their story is true, Fox's John Roberts and Shannon Bream did their best to help the Alito's turn the story about their unacceptable behavior into another conservative victimhood fairy tale that's all about the neighbor.
Here's Roberts and Bream on this Friday's America Reports playing stenographers for the Alitos:
ROBERTS: Let's bring in Shannon Bream, anchor of Fox News Sunday and chief legal correspondent. So here's a Justice Alito told the New York Times about the upside down flag. “I had no involvement whatsoever in flying the flag. It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”
So you talk to the Justice just a few minutes ago. Was this supporting “stop the steal” or was this in essence a middle finger to an obnoxious neighbor.
BREAM: There's clearly tension in that neighborhood that's gone on for a long time. A number of people asking questions about why this photo and why this article from the New York Times is coming out now when this is back from 2021, but he gave me a little more context and he said there were some signs out that had vulgarity on them and Mrs. Alito addressed that to the neighbor.
