Kellyanne Conway Blames Oval Office Photo on Journalist Unhappy With Trump (‘It is Venomous’)

Appearing today on a special edition of Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway addressed the recent photo taken of her in the Oval Office.

The photo showed her kneeling on a couch in front of a group of leaders who were meeting with President Donald Trump.

Regarding the amount of backlash she’s received online from the picture, Conway initially brushed it off, explaining that she hadn’t really follow much of it.

“I was very busy today and didn’t follow a lot of it, but I know there are a couple of reports at least showing what happened,” she told host Lou Dobbs. “And what happened is we had the largest gathering of men and women to date in the oval office for a picture.”

Conway added, “I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us. I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect, I didn’t mean to have my feet on the couch.”

Dobbs then asked her about the “deplorable” hypocrisy and the “venom of the left” regarding the attacks on her, especially when there are numerous photos of President Barack Obama with his feet on his desk.

“It is venomous, it is vicious, it bothers my children to be frank with you,” Conway stated, noting that she is under 24/7 protection while adding that she’s “not a victim.”

She then tossed out that this all comes from a journalist who is upset with Trump.

“This came from a journalist who is not happy that Donald Trump is the President but I just want people to focus on the great work of the HCBU presidents and how honored we were to have them here,” Conway concluded.

I thought she looked cute in the photo. Leave it to MSM types to make a big deal out of it.

This so-called “journalist” has a name. Time for a patriot to corner this POS in a dark parking lot and read him the riot act.

We’re at war and it’s time to start acting like it.

If it was Michelle Obama it would have been an MSM fawning moment.

Since it’s Kelly, they are trying to bash her.

Same here. All I see is a cute pic of someone who is comfortable in their own skin and is young at heart enough to act spontaneously to get a good picture of a historic event. I don't see anyone in the room acting horrified or appalled.

The whole episode probably only lasted seconds, but all it takes is one bitter and spiteful photographer to try and redo her image into that of an unprofessional slob.

That would be impossible. Moochie couldn’t physically sit with her legs like that.

A Fake News Story if ever there were one.

And as for Bill and Monica defiling the Oval Office, the Press pretends that it never happened.

Fake News is more concerned about Kellyanne putting her knees on a sofa than Monica on her knees under the desk.

I would have never expected President Trump to put up with those who would do this right under his nose. He can bar them from the White House can’t he??? If you don’t like him, then you should be relieved of the drudgery of being around him......hmmmmm?

Then why would this photographer be allowed in the room? Don’t invite them back for a long time.
