According to the Huffington Post, Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., took to Facebook after the ceremony and urged Sasha and Malia Obama to show "a little class." Read the full post below:
"Fire Lauten for chastising the Obama girls," said Twitter user @ufoundrich. "They are just teenagers."
"Republican congressional staff @DCGopGirl attacks President's teen daughters," added @JRush_Asia. "So utterly shameful and classless."
