What on Earth Did Martha-Ann Alito’s ‘German’ Spiel Mean?
Justice Samuel Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann, once again unwitting made herself the internet’s Main Character on Tuesday after an undercover reporter released a secretly recorded conversation in which she nastily complained about her neighbor’s Pride flag and bizarrely declared “I’m German.”
“Look at me. I’m German, from Germany. My heritage is German,” she told a documentary maker who was posing as a conservative activist. “You come after me, I’m going to 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.”
It was a single soundbite among a conversation full of flat-out MAGA-fueled weirdness from Martha-Ann, but the vagueness and perceived implication of her German heritage set the internet ablaze on Tuesday.
