Twitter debate sparks over photo of Conway sitting on Oval Office couch

Social media users circulated a photo of senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway perched on a couch in the Oval Office while President Trump mets with leaders of historically black universities and college Monday.

In the photo, Conway is sitting on her knees on the couch after taking a photo of the group. Some were quick to criticize Conway for putting shoes on a couch in the Oval Office.

Others responded to the critics with several photos of President Obama with his feet up on the desk in the office.

Many condemned the critics for worrying more about Conway's than the context of the meeting happening around her.
