In an image captured by an AFP photographer,Conway appears on the couch with her shoes on as Trump poses for a photo with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.
Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens was among those taking aim at Conway,suggesting that aides under previous administrations would have caused even greater outcry.
"If Rice or Jarrett had sat like this in Oval Office,conservatives（保守党党员）would have screamed themselves hoarse for weeks.Now we own trashy," he wrote.
