Twitter is alive with the sound of outrage after Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the President, was seen in a series of photos taken by photographers in the Oval Office on Monday.

In the photos, Conway can be seen kneeling on a couch and taking pictures of President Donald Trump during his meeting with the leaders of some historically black colleges and universities.

After news organization AFP posted the image on Twitter, commenters were quick to weigh in on the issue. Some people suggested Conway's disposition hinted at a deeper meaning to the Oval Office meeting:

Ben Dreyfuss, engagement editor of Mother Jones, was hardly bothered:

Now, you can't expect us to take this "meeting" seriously when this is the setting. pic.twitter.com/IAx34PlliM

@AFP such a classy way to sit in the Oval Office.. KellyAnne clearly was not taught how to sit properly in a dress...

Kellyanne is sitting here legs gapped open on this couch like she's playing at a playground. This is the Oval Office. What a time!
