The news continues right here on cnn its thursday, may 23, right now on cnn this morning, another controversial flag one flown by rioters on january 6, seen flying outside of home owned by Supreme CourtJustice Samuel alito, plus a strong gust of wind causes a stage to collapse in mexico, the death toll is now rising and nikki haley announcing shell vote for donald trump. And offering some advice for the former president 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, alive. Look at tahoe on this thursday morning. Morning, everyone, im kasie hunt its wonderful to have you with us. Another provocative flags outside of home belonging to Supreme CourtJustice Samuel alito, causing new controversy this morning, the New York Times was first to report the appeal to heaven flag that was seen on display at alitos newark, new jersey Vacation Home last summer. The flag dates back to the Revolutionary War, but its become a symbol of the stop, the steal movement, especially the christian wing and was used by trumps supporters during the january 6 riot at the Us Capitol Alito and the Supreme Court have not responded to requests for comment. This is now the Second Time Alito has been found to be flying a controversial flag at one of his Properties Last week. The times published a photo of an upsidedown American Flag flown at alitos home in virginia in 2021 the. Justice said that the flag was raised by his wife in response to a spat with neighbors meanwhile also this yesterday, former trump rival nikki haley, now saying that she will vote for the former president in november this was not however, an an explicit Endorsement Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so i will be voting for trump okay. Joining me to discuss washington correspondent for the atlantic constitution, tea mitchell, tia. Good morning to you. So lets start with samuel alito and these flags that have been flying because this particular one, if were able to put it up, we can show people exactly what were talking about here. It is a flag that dates back to the Revolutionary War. And there you see it. This is his Long Beach Island beach. House. And it says an appeal to heaven on top. Its a reference to john locke, the philosopher for those who want to go back that far. But it really does date back to the founding of the country. It is one of these symbols that has now been appropriated by the. Stop the steal movement. And it does seem as though there are more people out there defending this particular flag. We saw john bolton on with my colleague wolf blitzer. And then this was senator ted cruz, also on cnn last night talk, swatch i think this entire hoopla is greatly overstated and i think there is a concerted effort that is driven by democrats in the senate to try to delegitimize the court and to try to demonize were seeing it with Justice Clarence thomas. Were seeing it with Justice Samuel alito. I think the whole thing is disgraceful. This language is a little bit stronger than the language that i heard from republicans on the hill. Lindsey graham said it was bad judgment to fly the upsidedown American Flag. Now that said samuel alito is still a justice of the Supreme Court. And there are legitimate questions about the portrayal and the perception that people have in terms of being able to trust that the court can be impartial yeah. I mean, there are so many things here. Number one these flags are symbols and you can say, well, hes just going back to the Revolutionary War and john locke at the end of the day that fled, fell out of fashion until it was resurfaced. Buy the stop the steal White Christian nationalism arm of the Republican Party. So, yes, Justice Alito can say, well, were waiting on him quite frankly to say what he meant by flying the flag. But if youre on the outside looking in, you know, the current usages. So many people are going to assume he is aligning himself with those you usages as he is also a sitting justice with very pertinent cases before the Court Dealing with former president trump, dealing with stop the steal. So i understand republicans would like to paint this as a partisan thing and just an attack on the court. But if theyre doing that, theyre not really addressing the core concerns as to whether this justice is posting symbols to indicate he is aligned with a very partisan. And many people would believe problematic thread of the Republican Party. And we shouldnt. I mean, there is just this difference between mike johnson has displayed this flag in his i office. He asked is the speaker of the house, but he is an elected leader who is accountable to voters, not the case in the Supreme Court, right . So lets talk about nikki haley for a second because she did say she was going to vote for trump im interested to know how her supporters do that if theyre going to be disappointed. However, she she could have gotten farther and said, im going to endorse him. I want to be on the stage of the convention. I think its noteworthy that we are not there yet she did say that she thinks trump would be smart to reach out to her supporters trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that theyre just going to be with him. And i genuinely hope he does that it doesnt seem to me necessarily like trump is doing direct outreach to her supporters. Although my guess is there are people inside his campaign who want him to because this chunk of people is a challenge. I mean, i think shes correct that they cant assume that those people going to be with him . Yeah. And we know that the Biden Campaign has been trying to make overtures to that wing of the Republican Party. I think theres a lot of bad blood personally between trump in haley that is going to be probably a little bit hard for trump to get over. And i think thats where a lot of nikki haley voters and quite frankly, the democrats who hope to get the nikki haley voters were disappointed to see her saying shes going to vote oh, for him, given all the red flag, shes raised about the former president. And so yes, she didnt go as far as maybe some republicans who want to get nikki haley back in the fold, back on and back. In support of trump, didnt go as far as is as they would like. But just heard simply saying she would vote for him is a win for him in his campaign he doesnt necessarily need her on stage, probably doesnt necessarily want her on stage, but the fact that she said despite everything she said about Donald Trumps, shes Still Believes he would make a better president than joe biden is still a powerful message yeah. I mean, speaking of everything that she has said about donald trump, we have we have a little bit of a stack of that. Can we just remind everyone this is what nikki haley was saying about trump during the primary at. Some point, maybe we should say the reason that america keeps losing is because of donald trump i feel no need to kiss the ring on when trump got out there and just through a temper tantrum, we lost in 2018. We lost in 2020. We lost in 2022, and Donald Trumps fingerprints were on all of it. How much more losing do we have to do before we realize maybe donald trump is the problem i mean, the losing thing in particular, it hit home at the time, right . And im sure again, we know donald trump does not like being called the loser. Hes, hes very sensitive to those types of the tax. And again, im not sure that nikki haley and donald trump will be able to get over that hump completely. But also, i think we have to keep in mind nikki haley wants to see a future for herself as a Republican Party leader. And i think that that would be difficult for her if she werent to support the Party Nominee at the end one of the day thats donald trump yeah. No, i think thats what this is about. The bottom the bottom line timit you. Thanks for kicking us off today. I really appreciate it. All right.

Cnns max foster joins me now, live from london. Max, good morning. Theres a lot going on in this announcement. I mean, hes just like drenched with the rain and that song that was playing. You can give me some more context on this, but its things can only get better, which i guess is a throwback to the tony blair era britain were you surprised that he decided to move forward into the sooner that he had two and what what are the years . Specialist in optics. What what does this all say . What were renaming it, Drowning Street number one i so the music was being blasted for the end of Downing Street where labour supporters, the Opposition Party supporters and they were playing the tune that swept tony blair to power. So they were trawling and basically, and for some reason, the Downing Street people didnt manage to sort out the sound. So that was into it, interrupting it. All people are distracted by the brain, the bigger question though, exactly what youre saying. It was a Shock Announcement because i mean to say its an uphill struggle for him. I think youre being very polite. Theyre casey gazas your way its an i mean, its his Polling Numbers could not be worse he by any standard is not going to win this election if things carry on as they are. But he has to have an election by the end of the year and hes had some relatively good economic numbers inflation figures came down and thats meant to be as thing a former banker hes very bright guy, he knows about the economy. So i think hes banking on the fact that Inflation Numbers have come up a bit and that might be enough. But i think the people behind him there, for example theyre thinking about a lot of other things. So i mean, its a real is really big gamble. Yeah, it max me what do you attribute his low polling to . I mean, is it the economy is ticking upward . What is it that people are unhappy with right now in britain . Not achieving anything . He theres nothing he can really point to that hes done that as turn things around. The big issue for the conservatives is that they are seen as a pro probusiness, pro free market, low tax party and taxes have never been higher. They are rigueur highs because because of all the issues is hard with covid and all the things hes had to pay out. So its very difficult to see what a conservative voter will get from him when they go into the polling booth. As opposed to his opposition figure keir starmer, who most people dont even know in this country but is a blair rights and tony blair was the last sort of big, Powerful Change Maker that we had in this country. So at the moment hes heading towards Downing Street, it looks like hence the hence the song. I suppose. Yeah. All right. Max foster for us live in london. Max, thank you very much. All right.
