Last night, Kellyanne Conway was criticized again, this time for being a little too comfortable in the Oval Office. After an AFP photo of Conway kneeling on the couch—with her shoes on—during a meeting with leaders from several historically black colleges and universities, Twitter got into a heated debate about what’s respectful in the Oval:

Many Twitter users argued that Conway didn’t seem to respect the office of the president, or the meeting. Others posted pictures of President Barack Obama with his feet on his desk, suggesting that he also acted disrespectfully. Neither Conway nor the White House have addressed the commotion, but different captions trying to explain the photo are all over the internet.
