White House senior adviser David Axelrod described Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's reaction to the State of the Union address on Sunday as one of a growing number of "unusual outbursts" during speeches.
"In this weird political season we have become accustomed to unusual outbursts in the chamber during these speeches," Axelrod said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Alito caused a stir by apparently mouthing "not true" when President Barack Obama criticized a Supreme Court ruling that the president said would open the floodgates to corporate money in elections.
Axelrod declined to say whether Alito's behavior was appropriate.
