Sage Steele has come under fire after venting online about missing her flight.
The ESPN anchor used Instagram to criticize protesters demonstrating against the U.S. travel ban on Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport, one of several locations protests erupted over the weekend after President Donald Trump ordered authorities to temporarily suspend immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Demonstrators descended on airports around the U.S. in opposition to the ban, causing disruption for some travelers.
Steele shared a photo of part of the protest at LAX, along with a provocative caption.
Some on Twitter blasted Steele for her comments.
