Trump aide Conway draws ire for kneeling on White House sofa

Washington (AFP) - US President Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway has come under fire after a picture of her casually kneeling on a couch in the Oval Office was widely shared on social media.

In an image captured by an AFP photographer, Conway appears on the couch with her shoes on as Trump poses for a photo with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.

Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens was among those taking aim at Conway, suggesting that aides under previous administrations would have elicited even greater outcry.

"If Rice or Jarrett had sat like this in Oval Office, conservatives would have screamed themselves hoarse for weeks. Now we own trashy," he wrote, referring to previous presidential aides.

Trump's predecessor Barack Obama repeatedly took flak for photos in which he appeared to be relaxing.

Critics also chastised Obama for unbuttoning the previous Oval Office dress code that called for a suit jacket and a tie.

The image of Conway trended widely on social media, with several Twitter users berating her for what they described as a lack of respect in the Oval Office.

The media would never have reported meeting took place were it not for Ms. Conway’s sexiness in this pic.

Almost as if she knew this is the only way that photo op of Trump meeting with black leaders would see the light of day. Hmmm...

Obama did it all on purpose ... just like the bust of Churchill, it was a message to the masses that he was scuffing his shoes on history!

The man was a disgrace!!

I like Kellyanne a lot. And, I suspect most men like it when gals sit that way... it shows that they still have a little girl in them and they are still limber.. but it was bad form in the Oval Office. She was not alone with the President just being comfortable. She was a large gathering. It was simply not professional.

Also, just like when Obama put his feet on the furniture... you just don’t do that. That is our furniture and you will show it respect.

Regardless, this is a tempest in a teapot.


Rather than actually report on the event with Black leaders and what that entailed, the MSM focuses on Conway’s feet on the couch. That’s how they are using “Censorship by Omission” with DJT.

I think she was repositioning herself for a better photo and got caught in the act.

I would bet she is shoeless.

You would lose, there are other pictures that show her shoes clearly.

“I would bet she is shoeless.”

Yes, it’s probably why she had her feet up because she didn’t have any shoes on at the moment. But actually, all these “gotchas” will be the press’ undoing. People are not offended by these actions, but they will take notice of the fact that the press tries to make a big deal out of them.

So freakin’ what? Obama dishonored the office in SO many ways, so did Bill C., kneeling on a couch is just being comfortable and DOES NOT MATTER.

The funny thing is, by doing this they're just going to remind everyone about how Obama always put his feet on the furniture in the Oval Office.

“Kellyanne Conway has come under fire after a picture of her casually kneeling on a couch”

Misogynists. It drives them nuts that Kellyanne doesn’t sit like a man.

Really, double standard.... Obama with his feet on the resolute desk.

IIRC, the foot thing is an insult in Islamic cultures- maybe he's just showing what he thinks about HMS Resolute, the British Empire in general, and Western civilization as a whole. The MSM would be supportive of that.

When I saw the pic I did not like seeing the shoes on the furniture but O also recognize when a woman is trying not to have her crotch hanging out while wearing a dress.

I don’t understand the big deal with this. Based on how she is sitting she is likely not wearing shoes.

“. . Obama used the Resolute desk as a foot rest and
nothing was said.”

Kennyanne Conway, at all costs.
