After Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was reportedly captured blasting the publication as part of a well-funded ideological campaign against the Supreme Court in a new secretly recorded conversation, the non-profit newsroom ProPublica tried desperately to somehow claim that it had “fierce independence” and that its reporting was “non-partisan.”
Lauren Windsor, a liberal documentary filmmaker, and her colleague Ally Sammarco, who were in attendance at a dinner hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society on June 3, captured the recording.
She surreptitiously recorded Alito making several contentious remarks during their conversation, presenting herself as a religious conservative.
Windsor released an alternative recording footage from the same event earlier this week.
“They don’t like our decisions, and they don’t like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That’s the beginning of the end of it. There are groups that are very well-funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. That’s what it is.” Alito said.
“ProPublica gets a lot of money, and they have spent a fortune investigating Clarence Thomas, for example. You know, everything he’s ever done in his entire life… And they’ve done some of that to me, too. They look for any little thing they can find, and they try to make something out of it.” he concluded.
