NEW YORK — Political commentator Tomi Lahren is getting some backlash for posting a photo of herself wearing a U.S. flag themed Halloween costume.

The Instagram photo shows Lahren wearing a star spangled cape-like garment as part of an outfit that included a red tutu, a flag themed fanny pack and a top bearing President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.

Some accused the Fox News contributor of being disrespectful of the flag, including Trump administration critic Keith Olbermann, who claimed her costume was in violation of U.S. flag code.

Donald Trump, Jr. shot back with a picture of Olbermann draped in a flag on the cover of his new book.

Lahren countered that because her outfit wasn't made from a flag, there is no violation.

Exactly. Effing hypocrites. Leftards would rather burn the American flag.

And I’ve been looking for an American flag, too. What are the chances?

Wearing the US Flag is desecration of the US Flag. No matter who wears it.

Weird that the far lefties don’t have a problem with their picture of the Muslim woman using the flag as her burka. HYPOCRITES. Haven’t heard much from Olbermann lately. Is he still “gay” and living at mommy’s house?

Hey, Keith Uberdickhead. It’s not a flag. It’s a star spangled costume. ESAD.

My initial thought right off the bat.

All they ever want to do is disrespect it, wipe their butts on it, walk on it, hide it, or burn it.

Yes, since it looks like HE is draped in an actual flag, not just wearing bunting or flag-like material and thus HE is the one in violation of the flag code.

Normally, I would insist that they tweet and the book are complete and absolute photoshops.

Nobody could be that shameless.

I am definitely wrong. Shameless, thy name is Liberal. (Though I did go and make sure the book DID have that cover...the Tweet, I will take your word for it!)

How interesting it is that the same libfilth that squawked about her costume “violating the flag code” are all for maggot-infested rabble burning the flag to ashes.

They can screw off.
