‘Unbelievable Waste of Time’: Twitter Has So Many Feelings About Kellyanne Conway Kneeling on a Couch
Just how divided is America? Well, if Twitter’s reaction to this Oval Office photo of Kellyanne Conway is any indication, the answer is: very divided.
On Monday, the White House senior adviser joined President Trump in his office as he hosted a meeting with several leaders of the country’s historically black colleges and universities. During this meeting, a photo was taken where Conway was shown kneeling on one of the office’s couches while she still had her shoes on.

The picture spread through social media yesterday, and it got a lot of people worked up on Twitter. Some people complained about how Conway was supposedly being disrespectful, or else they took issue with her putting her feet on the sofa:
