The woman at the center of the Alito home upside-down American flag controversy said Wednesday night on CNN that the Supreme Court justice either made a mistake or lied when he told Congress that a neighborhood spat was the reason his wife was “greatly distressed,” leading critics to call for a “false statements” probe.

Emily Baden joined “Erin Burnett OutFront” and said the timeline, documented by a 911 call and police report in February 2021, shows that Martha-Ann Alito was flying the upside-down flag weeks before the neighborhood blow-up and 11 days after Jan. 6, a dispute that Justice Samuel Alito declined to recuse himself over in a late May letter.

“At best, he’s mistaken, but at worst he’s just outright lying,” Baden said, referring to the justice’s letter to Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and telling the CNN host that it was “absolutely 100 percent” accurate that Martha-Ann’s flying of the upside-down flag preceded the kerfuffle.

“That’s what I really want to drive home to people is that this happened on February 15th, and we know that because they had been harassing us so long that we were like ‘we need a paper trail of this, we need to call the cops right now,'” she said. “Like I said, these are federally protected people, they have security detail, they represent the judicial system, they are the law, and I am just a regular person.”
