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.

Yes. Exactly.
Knees on the couch are significantly worse than knees on the carpet under the oval office desk.
>>Saw the pic, have always wondered why women sit on their feet?<<
Because they still can. Nothing more than that.
What this tells me is that if the anti-Trump media is now focused on overdone steaks with ketchup and women advisers sitting on their feet, they are OFFICIALLY out of ammo.

Perspective.
Excellent point!
You said what I was thinking. This was a set up to get media to cover the meeting with black leaders. A brilliant move
You beat me to it.

Remember, showing the bottom of your shoe to a person means the same thing as the middle finger salute. Insult.
Thank you for the proof in pictures.
