Coulter posted a photo of herself seemingly sending up photos of stars who support the campaign to free 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls
US political pundit Ann Coulter has sparked outrage on Twitter after posting a photo of herself appearing to mock the #BringBackOurGirls campaign for the return of 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls.
Coulter, a conservative political commentator, posed holding a banner which read: '#Bring Back Our Country,' apparently sending up photos posted by a host of stars - including US First Lady Michelle Obama - holding a sign saying #Bring Back Our Girls.'
The campaign was launched to campaign for the release of schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria by the Islamist group Boko Haram on April 14.
Backing: Michelle Obama supports the #BringBackOurGirls campaign
Nigerian officials said 276 girls, aged from 12 to 15, were abducted from the school in Chibok, Borno. Some escaped, but around 200 are still missing.
Boko Haram slaughtered 300 civilians in the Borno town of Gamboru Ngala last week.
Obama has become the face of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign after posting the picture above and giving an address from the White House promoting the cause.
Coulter, who is famous for her outspoken conservative views, posted her photo, apparently in response to Obama and the other stars who support the campaign, saying 'My hashtag contribution to world affairs.'
If Coulter was trying to mock the #BringBackOurGirls campaign then her efforts appear to have backfired as countless Twitter users posted Photoshopped versions of her photo showing her holding banners with a wide range of bizarre and unlikely messages.
Among them was a banner saying 'Atheists rock my world' and another showing her holding a sign saying '#BringBackMySoul.'
