Trump aide Conway draws ire for kneeling on White House sofa

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.

This is not the first time Conway has found herself at the centre of a storm.

She recently came under fire for plugging the fashion brand of the president's . The head of the US Office of Government Ethics urged the White House to investigate Conway after the incident, saying she should face disciplinary action.

She also famously coined the term "alternative facts" and referred to a "Bowling Green massacre" -- which never happened -- during an interview.

Conway later tweeted that she meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists" -- referring to two Iraqi men who were indicted in 2011 for trying to send money and weapons to Al-Qaeda, and using improvised explosive devices against US soldiers in Iraq.

    Quoting  :

I don't agree with her attitude, kneeling down on sofa with shoes on in Oval Office. OMG !! Shame on her.

However, she is Trump's campaign manager who sent Trump into White House. That is why Trump didn't say a word about her.

Conway said she doesn't play by the rules. When I saw the photo in the news, I immediately posted this blog to share with my email friends and AsiaFind bloggers. Many TV news, internet news scolded her, but she doesn't care. She just said "I don't play by the rule". She is very important to Trump. Trump let her do whatever she likes to do.

    Quoting  :

She should at least put her legs down when sat on sofa in Oval Office. She said she doesn't follow the rules. She said in an interview today, she doesn't mean to disrespect. You be the judge.

All the public figures, including celebrities, movie stars, song artists, royal family, presidents, kings, queens, ... they are under public eyes scrutiny, no matter they like or not. So, they should behave well.

In this particular case, the location is Oval Office where the center of power. Hope she should pay attention her surrounding. There are many journalists and photographers in the White House. Do NOT make a scene in the public.

Incidentally, I want to point this out "Those African American scholars have been used for "publicity" that president care about African Americans education. One of the men in the photo said on CNN yesterday that those people came to the White House to talk with Trump about education and scholarships for African Americans. He said that Trump and his shifty aides basically used the group of African Americans for a photo op. Instead they were given a tour and a visit to the Oval Office, and they didn't have a chance to talk about education or scholarships for African Americans.

This is oval office (center of power), not her living room. Look at her, kneeling on sofa checking on her smartphone and tweeting. What does she think she is? Trump has spoiled her.

What do you think of her behavior in the White House? This photo was taken just yesterday. US President Donald Trump's senior advisor Kellyanne Conway checks her phone after taking a photo as Donald Trump hosts leaders of historically black universities and colleges in the Oval Office on February 27, 2017.

I think she should face disciplinary action.
