Twitter is alive with the sound of outrage after Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to President Donald Trump, was seen in a series of photos taken by photographers in the Oval Office on Monday.
In the photos, Conway can be seen kneeling on a couch and taking pictures of Trump during his meeting with the leaders of some historically black colleges and universities.
After Agence France-Presse posted the image on Twitter, commenters were quick to weigh in. Some people suggested Conway’s disposition hinted at a deeper meaning:
Now, you can't expect us to take this "meeting" seriously when this is the setting. pic.twitter.com/IAx34PlliM

@AFP such a classy way to sit in the Oval Office.. KellyAnne clearly was not taught how to sit properly in a dress…

Kellyanne is sitting here legs gapped open on this couch like she's playing at a playground. This is the Oval Office. What a time!

Ben Dreyfuss, the engagement editor of Mother Jones, was less bothered:
She was taking a photo. This is the dumbest outrage ever. pic.twitter.com/qtHkaGpH9N
