One person said, "I'm far from a prude, however, (Lara Trump) could have worn an appropriate dress then (sic) the one she chose. A time and place for everything. Her glowing white eye shadow and her attire is classless, when you are up front and center."
"Did Lara Trump know this was a funeral? Nobody wants to see her b---s. Disrespectful," said another.
A third added, "She is into herself way too much, I've never been a fan of Lara Trump. Apparently she wanted to show off her cleavage as well, totally disrespectful behavior."

One person said, "As lovely as Lara Trump is, her dress is a little inappropriate for Sen. Grahams’ funeral. Should have worn a higher neckline. Cleavage not needed, especially when you have $ to dress appropriately. But the Cross was beautiful."
