First Lady Jill Biden was in the United Kingdom for King Charles' coronation on Saturday as a proxy for her husband, President Joe Biden.

However, conservatives condemned what she and her granddaughter wore during the ceremony as she and Finnegan Biden showed solidarity with Ukraine by wearing coordinated yellow and blue dresses to the ceremony.

Blue and yellow are the colors of the Eastern European country currently being invaded by Russia, and many Republicans were not happy and made an issue out of the show of solidarity.

These include former Donald Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, who recently admitted to lying about the 2020 elections being stolen from the former president. She noted that Jill was "disrespectful" to the United States because she wore Ukrainian colors, not American. 

"Jill Biden was disrespectful to the United States and her office of First Lady by wearing the colors of the Ukraine flag with her granddaughter instead of representing our flag and our nation... First Lady Melania would have been pure elegance and patriotism," Ellis tweeted.

Other conservatives like Lavern Spicer echoed this.

However, according to Newsweek, Democrats came to Jill's defense and called out her critics. The liberals pointed out that this showed how Republicans stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin as a wedge to campaign against Joe Biden.

They also lauded Jill Biden for showing solidarity with Ukraine in their time of need.
