he photo, taken Monday, shows White House counselor Kellyanne Conway perched on a couch in the Oval Office as President Trump stands behind his desk and representatives of a number of historically black colleges and universities gather around him.
Conway is kneeling on the couch. Other pictures of the same moment show she has her shoes on.
This has, of course, inflamed the (mostly liberal end of the) Internet.
THE HORROR.
SHE IS DISRESPECTING THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
HOW COULD SHE.
And so on and so forth.
This tempest in a teapot is, in a word, dumb. In two words: incredibly dumb.
[Kellyanne Conway kneeled on a couch. The Internet went insane.]
First of all, every party not in the White House likes to express shock and outrage at the way the other side is treating this hallowed job and office. Republicans were incensed when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama treated the Oval Office with slightly less formality than did Ronald Reagan, who, famously, always wore a suit coat in the Oval Office.
Obama puts his feet on the desk! Obama throws a football!
This is all par for the Internet outrage/partisan police.
It was dumb when Republicans leveled the charge of Obama and Clinton disrespecting the White House. It is equally dumb now.

Maybe she takes yoga classes...??
So what she’s comfortable in her work environment. You and I would never sit that way if we were invited to the White House, oval office, but it’s not our work environment. I’d be overwhelmed and shaking to be in that part of the White House, all with happiness of course, but I’d be an anxious mess, hoping not to passout. Kellyanne’s cool and she’s relaxed and comfortable in her work enviroment. She’s awesome.
I hate to agree with you but you are right,don't give the fake news dept. any more ammo than they already have.
Kellyanne is a bit goofy. Nothing wrong with that. I would never trade positions with her fighting animals like Chuck Todd and CNN.
She wore an interesting patriot outfit on Inauguration Day. She knows it was high fashion like Ivanka and Melania, but she’s not competing there.
IMO, all this was a setup to create another controversy to draw attention away from getting Trump’s agenda passed.
The press wasted more cycles over his fake scandal.
And Trump can now blast them again for making a mountain out of a molehill.
Is that her stripper pole? /sarc
she drives the libbies nutso!
Funny when they have nothing left.
Michael Savage and quite a few of his callers were all over this. By their reaction, Conway was only bested in badness by Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.
Just my opinion, but getting a blowjob at the RESOLUTE DESK is pretty disrespectful.
But that’s just me.
I’m 67, male, and I can still sit like that; just not as long as I used to.
If your just 64 and can’t sit like that, I would advise you get up and move a lot more.
If your a vet, try some of the old rifle range snapping in positions.
If you cant get into them, you need to do a lot more physical labor.
Just a suggestion.
For the first time in my life I just tried to sit like that. I was sort of able to, but my body leans to the left. You’re right that I need to get more physically active. Just a few months ago I was barely able to walk because of leg and back pain. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia I was put on Lyrica, which helped a lot. Right now I’m just happy to be able to climb stairs. Hoping to win back enough stamina to be able to run a stress test my cardiologist says I should have.
Why should I care?
You have no problems embarrassing yourself without any help, believe me.
I’m an asshole because I think she shouldn’t put her feet up on the couch in the Oval Office?
I agree.
Nope, not all. How have I embarrassed myself?
With your juvenile name calling at people who have legitimate disagreements with your stance on this.
While the whole thing isn’t really a big deal, it was an obvious mistake by her.
Yes, just like the left is.
Told you to be careful not to be counted among them.
Looks like you failed.
Grats!
Not a mistake by her. She did nothing wrong.
