Video Description

Right-wing commentators and supporters of former President Donald Trump have flooded social media with images of upside-down American flags in protest of his historic guilty verdict. At least one such flag was spotted Friday outside Trump Tower in New York City as the Republican ex-president spoke about the trial. Among those sharing images of inverted flags online are Trump's eldest son, his daughter-in-law and the conservative Heritage Foundation. The upside-down American flag gained wide attention recently after revelations that it was flown outside the Alexandria, Virginia, home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
