AOC rips Justice Alito for 'alarming' mockery of figures like Prince Harry who criticized the overturn of Roe v. Wade

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made "alarming" comments about a world leader after the overturn of the abortion law.

A clip from Alito's speech at a conference on religious liberty in Rome on July 21, in which Alito joked about how figures like UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French PresidentEmmanuelMacron, and Prince Harry had reacted to the decision, was posted on Ocasio-Cortez's account

The comments were "politicized" and showed a "legitimacy crisis" in the court.

Alito was asked to give an update on the court's investigation into how the decision was leaked.

She said that it was Alito's opinion that leaked. His politicized remarks should be troubling to anyone. There is a crisis with the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Roberts is responsible for sharing the results of the SCOTUS leak investigation.

Alito joked that Johnson had paid the price for calling the reversal a step backwards.

He joked that he was wounded when Prince Harry criticized the decision in a speech.

Some Democrats were arrested last week outside the Supreme Court after they joined a protest in support of abortion rights.

According to a Gallup survey, trust in the Supreme Court has fallen to a historic low. The justices announced their decision before that was done.

Alito wasn't reachable for comment.
