Tomi Lahren's Halloween Costume Trolled For Violating US Flag Code

Newly-minted Fox News correspondent Tomi Lahren shook the internet on Saturday with her American flag themed Halloween costume. Her outfit may have desecrated the flag, according to Twitter.

Lahren, 25, draped herself in the American flag for Halloween. She wore the flag as a cape and paired it with a fanny pack which had stars and stripes on it. Her outfit also read, "Make America Great Again," the phrase President Donald Trump coined during his 2016 presidential campaign.

"Oh LA get ready to find your safe spaces!," Lahren captioned her Instagram photo. "What am I? Well if you’re a conservative, I’m American AF. If you’re a lib, I’m 'offensive.' Let’s go. #TeamTomi #halloween #MAGA #Merica #makeHalloweenGreatAgain."

Lahren’s post of her American flag costume garnered over 106,000 likes and thousands of comments. However, many users were seemingly troubled by the political commenter’s costume choice. Some suggested the outfit disrespected the flag and even violated a portion of the U.S. code. In past online rants, Lahren has blasted left-wing protesters for wearing the flag.

Meanwhile, other users said they had better costume ideas than Lahren.

According to U.S. code, the flag should never be worn.

"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general," the rule read.

"No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart," the rule continued.

Lahren has been vocal about the treatment of the American flag. She had widely denounced NFL players who kneeled in protest during in-game performances of the national anthem, arguing it shows disrespect to military personnel and the flag.

On Oct. 18, Lahren tweeted out a picture of Trump hugging the American flag, which she captioned "#RelationshipGoals."
