Outspoken conservative television personality Tomi Lahren is facing backlash over her Halloween costume.
Lahren posted a photo of her patriotic costume on Instagram on Sunday writing, “Oh LA get ready to find your safe spaces! What am I? Well if you’re a conservative, I’m American AF. If you’re a lib, I’m ‘offensive.’ Let’s go.”
Twitter didn’t hold back when it came to assessing her costume, pointing out that she may be a walking flag code violation, which states “no part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.”
One notes, “Wearing the flag is considered an act of disrespect.”
Another implies her costume is hypocritical, since she considers kneeling during the National Anthem disrespectful to the flag.

One more adds “Maybe it’s not about the flag.”
On her side though was the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., who clapped back at Keith Olbermann, calling him stupid and showing a picture of him draped in a flag.
As for Lahren, she’s responded, tweeting out an excerpt which argues as long as her costume isn’t actually made from a flag she’s in the clear.
