As we told you earlier, liberal Twitter melted down over a photo of Kellyanne Conway with her feet on a couch in the Oval Office during a visit by the presidents of historically black colleges and universities (HCBUs).
However, for Jeet Heer, senior editor of the New Republic, Conway’s disrespect wasn’t her feet on the couch, but that she was looking at her phone during the gathering:
I don't care about the disrespect for the oval office, it's the disrespect for the guests from the HBCUs that is striking. https://t.co/Hplg4Dqeb3

Um, dude … she *was* taking a picture:
She's getting ready to take a picture, genius.

Hi @HeerJeet. They were invited to the Oval Office. She took their picture. Your twisted mind twists that into disrespect.

Heer then dug in:
Do photographers normally sit like that on sofas?

Yes they do:
