Pete Buttigieg claims Pride flag symbolizes 'love,' flag praising Jesus is 'insurrectionist symbology'

On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said, when talking about a recording of Supreme Cout Justice Samuel Alito's wife wanting to fly a "Sacred Heart of Jesus flag," that the pride flag is about "love and acceptance" while the other flag representing Christ is about "insurrectionist symbology."  

The comments from Buttigieg came during an appearance on CNN where he was addressing a secret recording of the justice's wife speaking to left-wing activist Lauren Windsor at a dinner. Martha-Ann Alito told Windsor, who took the recording, that she wanted to fly a "Sacred Heart of Jesus flag" in response to a pride flag.   

"I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety that they're going to be okay and insurrectionist symbology," Buttigieg said.   

The transportation secretary added that trusting in the Supreme Court is partially based on the justices to make "enormously consequential decisions that shape our everyday lives with a sense of fairness."   

Windsor published the recordings on her activist site, the Undercurrent, after deceptively claiming that she was a fan of Martha-Ann Alito’s husband and engaging her in conversation. Alito committed to flying the Sacred Heart of Jesus flag in the month of June to protest Pride Month. The recording comes after left-wing media has gone after Justice Samuel Alito for the different flags that his wife has flown at their different properties, including an upside-down American flag and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag.   

Senate Democrats attempted to force Alito out of his post for the actions, which they claim connect him to the January 6 riots and protests at the Capitol.
