Sam Alito's Wife Is Absolutely Unhinged In New Secret Recording

And you thought the Samuel Alito tape was bad!

Martha-Ann Alito Flag

via DALL-E and the deepest recesses of Martha-Ann Alito’s id

Small talk at cocktail parties and events is the worst. How many times can you pontificate about the weather or the local sports ball team to a roomful of single-serving acquaintances? Well, Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito, has no such qualms. Indeed, she’ll run her mouth so much that even the most mildly introverted person would be second-hand embarrassed. And then we get to the substance of what she said, and that’s just plain horrifying.

The Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner earlier this month was an absolute hotbed of news and we didn’t even know it at the time. That’s because in attendance was documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor, and at the event she pretended as if she were a religious conservative and asked probing questions of Supreme Court justices. And while Justice Alito’s unwillingness to compromise with liberals was certainly noteworthy, it wasn’t the only revelation. Windsor also recorded her conversation with his wife, Martha-Ann, and there are some REAL doozies there.

Martha-Ann recently made news when her husband blamed her for flying an insurrectionist flag at their home supposedly in response to a neighborhood tiff, but COINCIDENTALLY was just days after the attempted January 6th coup. (Not to mention that wasn’t the only flag favored by insurrectionists flown at Alito residences.)

As reported by Rolling Stone, Windsor’s conversation with Martha-Ann absolutely hit on that controversy — a topic that Mrs. Alito jumped into with being prompted by Windsor:

“You know what I want?” Mrs. Alito says. “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month.”

Referencing her husband, Mrs. Alito says, “He’s like, ‘Oh, please don’t put up a flag.’ I said, ‘I won’t do it because I am deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I’m putting it up and I’m gonna send them a message every day, maybe every week, I’ll be changing the flags.’ They’ll be all kinds. I made a flag in my head. This is how I satisfy myself. I made a flag. It’s white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word ‘vergogna.’ ‘Vergogna’ in Italian means shame — vergogna. V-E-R-G-O-G-N-A. Vergogna.”

“Shame, shame, shame on you,” she adds.

Yeah, Sam Alito is definitely going to vote to overturn Lawrence v. Texas just as soon as he can.

Martha-Ann also freely discusses with Windsor — a virtual stranger — her personal list of enemies:

In other points of the conversation with Windsor, Martha-Ann Alito agrees there is no negotiating with the radical Left. She claims “the Femnazis believe that [Justice Alito] should control me,” adding: “So they’ll go to hell. He never controls me.”

Mrs. Alito indicates she is spoiling to “get even” by suing the media. When Windsor expresses her sympathies about the recent media coverage about her family, Mrs. Alito responds, “It’s OK. It’s OK, because if they come back to me, I’ll get them. I’m gonna be liberated, and I’m gonna get them.” She adds, “There’s a five-year defamation statute of limitations.” (Most states have a one- or two-year statute of limitations.)

Mrs. Alito has a long memory: She complains at length about a Washington Post style section item from two decades ago that critiqued her attire.

Who talks like this at an event? Yes, according to former GOP operatives, Supreme Court Historical Society events are touted by conservatives as an opportunity to make connections to SCOTUS justices, but anyone with a $150 membership to the Society can buy tickets. Martha-Ann has no reason to believe she’s in a room filled exclusively with likeminded individuals. She could be talking to — or overheard by — anyone. But she’s out there discussing her personal vendettas like that’s a totally normal thing to do.

And still not the most disturbing part! When Windsor suggests that Martha-Ann might be receiving undue attention because she’s a synecdoche for the religious right, the conversation takes a turn towards the Nazi.

“Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way — it doesn’t have to be now — but there will be a way they will know. Don’t worry about it. God — you read the Bible. Psalm 27 is my psalm. Mine. Psalm 27, the Lord is my God and my rock. Of whom shall I be afraid? Nobody.”

Did she just favorably cite the Germans in WW2? I am genuinely flummoxed. WHO DOES THIS IN POLITE SOCIETY? It’s positively wild.

After you get your jaw off the ground, the horror of what the Alitos, in separate conversations, have revealed sets in. The recordings between the Alitos and Windsor provide a disturbing look into the mindsets of some very powerful figures in the far-right political landscape.
