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.

Definitely would risk an assault charge if I had the opportunity to beat the crap out of him.
They trashed Palin when her bus was painted with the Flag on the side; upheld 0bozo when he did it.
YMMV
Irony is lost on the left.
I wonder if Keith Olbermann made a similar comment about the photo of Bill Ayers standing on the U.S. flag?

Except she's not wearing a flag. She's wearing an outfit with a flag theme.
I agree! However, wearing a garment resembling the US flag is not a desecration..........IT'S A COSTUME, NOT A FLAG!!!!!!!.........Sheesh! Get a life

Crackerjack point.
Liberals are so like children. Whine like crazy about what you don’t like, ignore or block out of your mind the other side of the coin.
The only backlash I have against this costume is that it’s not a bikini.
I disagree and call her out for desecrating the Flag. You need to learn to respect the flag.
Amazing. She wears a flag motif. He literally wraps his body in an actual flag.
I respect the flag, I fought for the flag and I fly the flag on my house.
I don't get my jock strap all tangled up by someone wearing a red, white and blue shirt, jacket or costume........
This is the flag that I respect and fly:
This is a red, white and blue shirt that I could not care less about (with the exception of a sexual nature):
Self righteous indignation seems to be on the increase here..........LOL!
He needs a slap.
Paging Ann Coulter.
The hypocrites never said a word when Clintoon and Algore used the Confederate battle flag in campaign materials.
Dear Keef, she is not wearing a flag. Unlike you.
She isn’t wearing a flag. It is an outfit that resembles a flag, but it isn’t a flag.
There is a half sunken buoy in that picture.
Really.
