KELLYANNE COMES UNDER SOCIAL MEDIA ATTACK

Washington (AFP) - US President, Donald Trump's Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway has a caused social media rage after a picture of her casually kneeling on a couch in the Oval Office was widely shared on social media. 

President Trump was meeting leaders of historically black colleges and universities to discuss his administration's support for the schools, including contracts and grants when Conway knelt on the couch while actually trying to take a snapshot of the president and the leaders of black education system.

Many Twitter users were quick to berate Conway, with many calling her body language a sign of "disrespect."

One user tweeted "Conway with her shoes on the couch in Oval Office consistent with general level of disrespect Trump team has shown" 

Some drew comparisons to a 2013 photo of former president Barack Obama with his feet up on the desk of the Oval Office.

"Remember when Republicans used to flip out over Obama Oval Office decorum," posted one Twitter user.

Conway recently came under fire for plugging the fashion brand of the president's daughter.

The head of the US Office of Government Ethics however, urged the White House to investigate Conway after the incident, saying she should face disciplinary action.
