First lady Jill Biden’s show of support for Ukraine was met with mixed reactions on social media.
Conservatives raged on social media over first lady Jill Biden’s political message at King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday.
Biden and her granddaughter Finnegan Biden wore coordinated yellow and blue dresses to the coronation ceremony, representing the flag of Ukraine. The move was viewed as a sign of solidarity with the Eastern European country, which for more than a year has been fighting off an invasion from Russia.
The Biden administration, like many other world leaders, has supported Ukraine, supplying the war-torn country with billions of dollars in weaponry and condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin over the conflict, which they say was unprovoked.
Chatter on Twitter ensued about Biden’s look at the historic coronation, with the first lady receiving praise and criticisms over the decision to show support for Ukraine.
Right-wing critics of the Biden administration condemned the look, saying that the first lady should have instead worn colors representing the United States.
