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.

POS Obama used the Resolute desk as a foot rest and nothing was said.
They would have NO problem if she knelt on a left over prayer rug pointing to mecca.
Really, double standard.... Obama with his feet on the resolute desk.
Yes. This is far worse than having a woman half the POTUS’s age performing fellatio in the same exalted environs.
Love it, Love it, Love it.
Liberal heads exploding!
Love it.
Hehehehehe...we need The Fainting Couch!
How can you tell if she has her shoes on? I think it would be very uncomfortable to sit like that with shoes on.
I would bet she is shoeless.
Regardless, this is a tempest in a teapot.
Michelle probably had a bm on it and they wouldn’t have said a word.
Screw the crybaby hacks at the WSJ.
Stephens is a Never-Trumper from the beginning.
She was caught in a private moment after a private meeting
Not like obama propping his feet on the Resolute desk,and showing the soles of his shoes ( muslim insult) to,his cabinet and advisors
Or Bill having Monica in his desk well
They neglect to,mention the dozens of black,college presidents there looking happy to meet the president
Strange way to sit.
These people are absolutely unhinged. *shakes head*
And that effing Muslim President with his shoes on a historic WH Oval Office Desk evoked no criticism at all by the press.
I didn’t condone Obama’s disrespectful behavior, nor B. Clinton’s in the Oval Office, and I am appalled at Kelly Anne’s behavior as well. Who does that? It is a bad reflection on her and is not excused simply because some prior boors behaved badly.
I really like and respect Kellyanne!! Those criticizing her need to “get a life and give up Liberalism which they’re proving, by their actions, is a mental disease.”
Everyone I talk to is disgusted by the media and their 24/7 BS attacks against President Trump. By attacking President Trump, they’re attacking all of us, We The Deplorables.
They can all go pound sand or their empty heads against a brick wall. That’s my opinion, what’s yours?
Other close-up images have shown her wearing shoes. Obama was wrong in doing it and so was Kellyanne. Sorry. Both lack decorum.
