Political Commentator or Hypocrite?
By and far, the majority of comments on Lahren's posts are from people accusing her of being a hypocrite. Back in September, Lahren shared her own opinion of respecting the flag on Fox News.
"You want to get political? Fine. Put it out there, disrespect the country, but don't for one second think people like me are going to let it go unquestioned. No. I'll be happy to remind you what that flag and that anthem mean because maybe, just maybe, it's bigger than you and your temper tantrum."
Not against US Code: Kneeling during the National Anthem
IS against US Code: Wearing the flag as clothing
Way to go @TomiLahren https://t.co/CCpAYdrq0I

I guess disrespecting the American flag in this manner is okay. My god...just don't kneel during the anthem.

Is That a Fanny Pack?
While the majority of commenters were split on whether or not Lahren's costume was in violation of the U.S. Code, others were simply stuck on the fact that she was wearing a fanny pack. Didn't those get left in the '90s?
There is nothing patriotic about an American flag fanny pack.
