Justice Alito weirdly jokes that 'You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits all the time' while debating a free speech case and talking about Santa photos

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made a joke about black children wearing Ku Klux Klan outfits.

While the justices were hearing oral arguments in a case that will determine if an anti-discrimination law in Colorado violates a web designer's first amendment right to freedom of speech because she only designs wedding websites for heterosexual couples

Jackson had a scenario in which a photography business wouldn't take photos of a mall Santa Claus with children who are not white. Alito asked if a Black Santa should have to take a photo with a child dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit if he doesn't want to be pictured with the child.

Colorado's solicitor general said that the Ku Klux Klan outfits are not protected.

If a child is "Black or white or any other characteristic," the same law would apply to the KKK outfit a child wears.

"Do you see a lot of black kids in Klan outfits?" Alito said something funny. It's all the time.

Alito, one of the court's conservative justices, chuckled before giving the microphone to the other justice.
