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.

Could have taken off her shoes while “sitting”. Doesn’t mean she didn’t have them with her out of view, like on the other side of the couch, putting them back on when she moved around.
Yes, Obama put his dirty SHOES on the Resolute Desk—a priceless museum piece—and he smirked as he did it. Low class trash, raised with no manners, and the Fake News Media looked the other way.
Guys, guys...Remember the rule. Everything Trump doesn’t has a purpose! Kelly is the decoy. Trump now has a photo op of him and blacks and he will help them.
Bret Stephens has gone insane.
Obama will always be an Evil Scum.
......yes, some hypocrite Fake News reporters need to be reminded of the perverted things Bill Clinton did with Monica, cigars, and the Oval Office sink.
The entire Oval Office had to be sanitized with bleach to clean up after The SinkEmporer.
Rather than actually report on the event with Black leaders and what that entailed, the MSM focuses on Conways feet on the couch. Thats how they are using Censorship by Omission with DJT.
“They can all go pound sand or their empty heads against a brick wall. Thats my opinion, whats yours?”
If that’s all they have to tantrum over, they should honk off and die.

There’s one photo at the linked story where they enhanced and blew up the shot to show that she was still wearing her shoes. So her bad and big deal. The easy retort to anyone that obsessed and anal is “OK, now show me how Bill and Monica treated the furniture ... or go FYS. Your choice, Francis”.
[Whats really upsetting the leftists is that Trump has a roomful of blacks that run the risk of being convinced to flee the Demoncrat plantation.]
You win the thread. That’s what this is really about.
Honestly, I have read all the comments so far, 129, and very few have found this behavior appalling. Why is it that everything Pres. Trump and his staff do is just ginger peachy? Personally, I think the way Mrs. Conway is sitting is disgraceful! Forget the shoes, just the fact that she is sitting with her legs at the knee gaped open with men in the same room and in clear sight of her is terrible from any perspective. Quit defending the indefensible.
For later.

It beats kneeling in front of the Saudi Prince!
I dont like it, but it is very apparent that she was positioning for a better picture, I doubt this will happen again. And no, I am not a "TrumpCanDoNoWronger".
You can vote for Hillary next time to make sure that the furniture will be treated with respect, aside from the stuff bill stains and staff steals..
Only a Democrat can put their feet on the furniture, follow the rules...
That picture provides context that the media was all too happy to omit. They wanted a picture of a clueless female narcistisstically engrossed in her cell phone, where it may have been the only place she could get a certain angle from.
Everyone knows that Trump's inner circle is being targeted, and yet you are so readily buying the narrative that the Yahoo news is selling.
Check post #50 and post #90. she was getting ready to take a picture from a particular angle.
