Another day, another controversy at the White House. This Tuesday, social networks caught fire after a photo of Kellyanne Conway, adviser to President Donald Trump, appeared in a rare pose in the Oval Office during an official event of the president.

The photo in question captures Conway sitting with her legs folded in her shoes on a sofa and looking at her phone. The image was captured on Monday while a meeting was held between the president and the directors of the most prestigious and historical African American schools in the United States.

The image shows Conway abstracted on the screen of her cell phone because she was getting ready to take a photo of the meeting.

However, the images show the serious faces of those present. On networks, netizens criticized Conway for behaving "as if she were at home" and for what many called "disrespect."

Others consider that it is trying to generate a controversy where there is none. "This storm in a glass is, in a word, nonsense," said The Washington Post columnist Chris Cillizza. "It was silly when the Republicans accused Clinton or Obama of disrespecting the White House, and it's equally silly now."

This did not prevent celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Keith Olbermann and Vanessa Carlton also attacked in networks asking him to "lower your fucking feet from the furniture", among other things.
