Sasha and Malia Obama were criticised for their outfits at the annual turkey pardoning event at the White House

US President Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia have been accused of showing disrespect and lacking "class" by a Republican official after their appearance at a Thanksgiving ceremony.

Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for congressman Stephen Fincher, made her comments in a Facebook post, since deleted.
