Kellyanne Conway checks her phone after taking a photo of President Donald Trump and leaders of black universities, colleges in Oval Office pic.twitter.com/MgVhCoJFuC

Again, this is one of the photos that has been aggravating people since Monday. Kellyanne Conway was included in a meeting between Emperor Baby Fists and representatives from HBCUs, and Conway decided to take a photo on her phone. Which wouldn’t have been a huge deal, except she kneeled on the couch in the Oval Office, which most people took as a huge sign of disrespect for the office. Anyway, Conway let the controversy fester for 24 hours, because she’s a famewhore and she loves the attention, good or bad (she’s like the Deplorable version of Lena Dunham), and then Conway offered a bulls–t apology during an interview with Lou Dobbs last night. Here’s the video. Please don’t scream at the computer screen!

Conway is a dumb person’s idea of a political strategist, right? So many people want to believe that Conway has some master plan or that she’s some kind of Machiavellian genius, but she’s just a dumb famewhore who loves to play the victim. She’s getting 24-7 Secret Service protection because… why, exactly? Because people think she’s an a–hole for putting her feet on a couch in the Oval Office? Here are some quotes from the interview:
Whether she followed the controversy: “I was very busy today and didn’t follow a lot of it, but I know there are a couple of reports at least showing what happened. And what happened is we had the largest gathering of men and women to date in the Oval Office for a picture. I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us. I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect, I didn’t mean to have my feet on the couch.”
On the “deplorable hypocrisy of the left” (Dobbs’ words): “It is venomous, it is vicious, it bothers my children to be frank with you. I have 24/7 Secret Service protection because people do wish us harm and people should take that very seriously. I’m not a victim at all but people should take very seriously the import of their words when I meant no disrespect. This came from a journalist that is not happy that Donald Trump is the President. But I just want people to focus on the great work of the HBCU presidents and how honored we were to have them here.”
The controversy wasn’t started by one Trump-hating journalist. The controversy started when the photo went viral on Twitter, with journalists, editors and non-political people alike all criticizing the general trashiness of Conway’s pose. As I said yesterday, Conway KNEW SHE WAS BEING PHOTOGRAPHED. She was literally sitting in front of the photographers who were gathered in the Oval to do the official press pool photo spray. I completely and totally do not believe that anyone asked Conway to take some special photos on her phone considering there were professional photographers IN THE ROOM at the exact same moment. The fact that she lies about sh-t like this should give everyone pause. I mean, we already know she’s a lying a–hole, but Jesus. This stupid woman.

Most of the people in the picture are looking PAST her to the real photographers. And who would have asked her to take that picture?
My concern over this, aside from the fact that MY tax dollars paid for that couch and would have to pay to re-upholster it if her high heels tore it, is that it is all a distraction from the incredibly racist and ignorant things Betsy DeVoes had to say about this meeting.
The White House Endowment Trust pays for renovation and repair of rooms and furnishings.
If I am going to be outraged about misuse of tax payer dollars with will be over the $400,000 a day it costs to prtotect Melania and Barron in NYC, and the $10 million it costs to protect Trump on his weekend jaunts to Mar-a-logo.
I’ve expressed my on-going outrage over that waste many, many times.
When DeVos called HBCU’s “pioneers of school choice?” Oh.My.Gawd.
She is such a tool. She can’t seriously believe HBCU’s were founded to give African America students more school choice.
Oh yeah we decided to create HBCUs because we didn’t want to attend the colleges and universities that were in the country.It was ALL about CHOICE.
#sarcasm
I wish we could get a moment of clarity and honesty where people who have benefited tremendously from white privilege admit that a potential side effect is general ignorance about what marginalized people have endured, overcome and contine to rail against. I understand Princess Betsy is out of touch. What I don’t understand is why she and many others in privileged positions don’t learn, grow and expand their world view. You wanted to be a servant of the people, right? Well b*tch most of the people aren’t white billionaires.
As for Kookya$$ Conjob, I really think she staged this as a photo op for HERSELF. She wants people to know she’s comfortable in the oval office after weeks of negative press and being iced out. She’s desperate, awkward and way overrated as a strategist. Dare I say many of us could have pulled this hostile takeover of the White House off too, with a big assist from Russia. She’s not special.
Yeah, the choice to go to school at all. 🙁
Ahhh. How thrifty of you, Were you equally as concerned with the damages that could be caused by Obamas shoes on the furniture. Don’t remember seeing comments about that expressing concern.
And how original of you to bring up Obama, who is no longer in office, when someone comments on Trump and his minions’ lack of class. What will your next well-thought out retort be, i wonder? I bet it would be something about Hillary’s emails.
Oh, just f…k off, you f….ing troll. Ain’t nobody got time for you.
@Allie I am in awe of your ability to keep your cool and try to talk to whatever it is.
Obama was not an aide or advisor in the Oval Office. He was also not in a dress and heels (not that he couldn’t rock that look) climbing on furniture like a child in a room full of important outside visitors. Had this been trump with his feet up on the desk in front of his staff your argument might hold some merit but instead it is false equivalency at its finest.
Face it- she’s tacky, she lies, she’s taking advantage of the American taxpayer for some perceived security risk just because she was called out for extremely unprofessional behavior.
Look, you were boring ten comments ago. It might be time to veer away from “Thanks Obama” into a more substantative argument.
Oh well, I”d rather see the president’s shoes on a table than this lying as-hole (who is not a president but one of his minions) feet on the couch.
Tell me what causes more damage, the heel of a pair of Stacy Adams on a table or six inch stripper heels digging into a couch?
Yeah, putting shoes on a hard surface like a desk in an informal situation is completely the same as putting sharp heels on a fabric surface during a formal meeting.
Dee, you forgot to mention the bj and how Monica’s knees might have scuffed the carpet. Or how Caroline and JFK,Jr. used to run around the OO and probably scratched something. You can do better. Concentrate, girl, instead of running around to all the threads with your trump asskissing.
Oh, before I forget – Tanguerita 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dee, do you have anything to say about the fact that Trump spent more in a month on travel than Obama did in a year?
When someone doesn’t want to admit how bad Trump and his workers are, they have to throw in some “but, but Obama did this.” Never saw Obama squatting spread eagle on the couch. A pose with his feet on the desk is not unclassy or gross. Kellyanne looked unladylike and rude in front of all those people
Dee – Please make sure to include George W.
Bush and Gerald Ford in your criticism of feet on the Resolute Desk. Oh, and those pesky Kennedy kids playing underneath it in 1963–make sure you include them as well!
I don’t recall ever seeing Barack Obama wear high heels, do you have a picture of him wearing such shoes? And jumping around on a couch while wearing them?
As for feet on the desk pictures, many presidents have done that and they have done so during PRIVATE meetings, not during events. This incident occurred during an event.
@allie
I will say people brought up GWB all the time when Obama was in office so the “he’s not in office find something better to talk about” argument falls flat.
I’m especially not bothered by the damage to Kelly Anne Conway’s kids. That’s on her and her odious husband.
@Llama, and neither Bush or Obama were caught wearing high heel shoes and jabbing them into a sofa cushion so bringing either of them up is a senseless diversion. Also, they were president, Kellyanne Conway is not. Okay? Deal.
@lightpurple
And nowhere did I say I supported her and whatever she was doing. I was just pointing out the fallacy with that one argument.
I have to say I find it a bit disturbing how her potentially maybe slightly damaging some old cushion is causing so much more scandal and outrage than, you know, the fact she’s a racist troll bigot who essentially breaks the law to support and promote JustBeenTangoedHitler.
She shouldn’t get a pass for anything, but this really is small beans and imo makes us (liberals/anti-Trumps) potentially look sort of petty and hypocritical. Focus on her real bad behaviour, of which there is plenty.
Lightpurple: “Most of the people in the picture are looking PAST her to the real photographers. And who would have asked her to take that picture?”
I asked this question yesterday on here. You can see the people have been lined up for a photo, and as you say, most are looking past her and at the professional photographers. She just looks like an indulged 13-year-old daddy’s girl allowed into the inner sanctum, not knowing how to conduct herself properly at such an auspicious event, and taking photos on her phone to post up on her Instagram. She’s becoming another liability, but she’s a blonde, white, female tRump toady, so…
That lying , obnoxious shrew needs to shrivel and go away. Again, always blaming others and never owning up to her own shit. Just wait until she starts looking like Bette Davis in Whatever Happened in Baby Jane….she’ll scare everyone away. Karma’s a bitch.
OMG. With Sean Sphincter as Blanche to her Baby Jane!
“But ya are, Sean! Ya are in that chair!”
“I didn’t bring your breakfast, because you didn’t eat your din-din!”
Well you’re half way there. She is shriveled.
Poor baby. I’m sure Malia and Sasha were super happy with the way their mother especially was attacked during those 8 years.
I honestly thought she’d play the “feminist” card but behold, she brought out the children.
Those poor kids used as a shield fro utterly unprofessional behaviour. The look on the gentleman’s face directly opposite her shows his disgust. KAC is just atrocious on every level.
You know how your parents, no matter how great they may be, are embarrassing when they’re *your* parents? {Stops here to just let that sink in.}
If the job is that stressful, kac, you could Q.U.I.T.
Here is the thing, I wouldn’t sit like that in my own home when I had a bunch of people over. Why would a person sit like that in the Oval Office?!? Trash.
All I have to say when people like Kellyanne, Donald, Steve Bannon and others in this administration do finally fall from favor it will be spectacular. They like to blame everyone else, wait until they start turning on each other. It will be like watch a pit of Cobras fighting each other.
I truly believe it will happen. The rule of law will win the day. They can’t suppress what’s coming forever. Even if every Republican in Congress colludes to protect the Trump administration, you can bet the findings of these investigations will go public and we the people will flip s#it and demand swift action.
It’s coming. Hang in there, friends.
Support this 100%. Give this administration enough rope and theyll do the deed themselves, Bannon et al are pushing the limit irrationality, even for all their supporters.
Save the tax payers money from the cost of removing Kelly Anne Conway’s snail trail from an oval office couch, just burn it.
One can only hope that it comes soon. Trump lied so many times in that speech to Congress. Hope the press pulls him up for all of it. Sadly, his supporters have turned off their minds. The more he spews, the more they think they are ‘winning’. I wonder how their lives are made tangibly better when others are poorly treated, denied health care and so on? I’d really like to know how they quantify how their lives have been made better this past month. A reckoning is gonna come when they realise all Trump’s promises are worthless, much like himself.
He’s pissed off the Press, the Intelligence Community and the Military Leaders. Somebody’s gotta be sharpening the knives.
Meh. I’m sick of people apologizing for being crass and stupid. I just want them to stop being crass and stupid!
Yes they should stop doing that and should march with a knitted vagina hat on their head spewing comments about bleeding. That’s elegance and grace.
It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. I saw cute hats with cat ears. They were a subtle allusion to our commander in chief who bragged about grabbing women by the p*ssy. Did that bother you? Were you proud? I didn’t hear anything about bleeding. I saw women worldwide expressing their concern over DT. That whole day made me unbelievably proud. Too bad you found nothing to admire.
What??
Pussy hats are a thing thanks to Donald J Trump. Always remember, “I don’t even wait. You can grab them by the pussy.”
But women protesting against sexual assault, referencing menstruation and wearing pink hats offends you? Priorities a mess…
Yeah cat ears are just so offensive. JFC what is WRONG with you, little snowflake?
Pink hats with ears is not offensive. A little strange if you believe they are. Trump was the one spewing comments about vaginas and bleeding. He e bragged about grabbing women by the p*ssy and saying a reporter must be bleeding when he didn’t like what she said.
Have you seen the hats? They have cat ears on them, they are actually super cute, and in no way look like a vagina.
If you’re upset about the word pussy… well, we all know who to thank for bringing that b*llsh*t word back as a way to refer to women’s vaginas. You do remember when your president bragged about grabbing women by their P-words and assaulting women on camera, right?
Also, “spewing comments about bleeding”… are you referring to Trump when he made the remark about Megyn Kelly having blood coming out her “wherever”? Or are you talking about the women who are demanding that their health concerns, which includes their periods and reasons for preventing or inducing them, are taken seriously and not mandated by a bunch of religious nuts with no vaginas of their own?
Your cognitive dissonance is astounding. I can’t even with people like you anymore. You’re like mosquitos; super irritating and even just one of you can totally ruin an otherwise pleasant meal.
Guys, you are giving Dee too much time and effort. She is ether a troll or crazy. Either way, responding is a waste. Trolls love the attention, and there is no arguing with crazy.
Those were kitten ears. I don’t know whether to pity you that you’ve never seen a vag or laugh at you.
Yes, acknowledging the existence of menstruation is certainly a far worse crime than being a giant racist bigot rapist who’s incapable of telling the truth.
If I was physically capable of knitting a cap that actually resembles a vagina gushing blood I would 100% do it. Suck it MRAs.
…and even if someone HAD asked her to take a picture on her phone, the couch is so obviously NOT the best position to be in. She’s having to lean forward to peer around the people on the left in order to fit King Cinnamon Gibbon in the frame.
Conway was sitting there with her brain switched off, feet up like a toddler, watching Nickelodeon or something, because she’s infantile, and a moron – and because any sense of decorum she has applies only to rich white men. If there are POC in the room, she doesn’t even register them as people. Why would she even bother to stand up? “Get up? For BLACK PEOPLE?!! Ew!” I’m only surprised she’s not sitting there in her jammies with a pop tart, waiting for Daddy Donald to get finished with his visitors and come tuck her in.
Exactly. I would never behave like that around other people, specially if I’m working, and not in a billion years if I was in front of such a group of important people.
She’s clearly oblivious to her surrounding, has no clue, is too dumb and racist to register it.
Completely agree! NEVER EVER would this gargoyle faced shrew have sat there in such a disrespectful manner and position if she were surrounded by rich WHITE men! In fact, the insolently casual way she’s seated seems such a vulgar and flamboyant posture of pure DIS-respect that I wish someone had slapped her then and there, and told her to stand THE HELL UP when her SUPERIORS are present! And then this racist, profoundly ugly, mean spirited, lie spewing witch then has the absolute *gall* to say that the (well deserved) negative public reactions to her are *hurting her children*: REALLY?!? She is actually attempting to garner SYMPATHY for herself, after such a debacle; to turn the tables on those who are rightfully outraged by her antics? I wonder if this “alternative fact” proponent even HAS children; I actually slightly doubt it. After all, there is NO lie this soulless woman wouldn’t stoop to, to promote or protect her own ass.
Shut up, Kellywitchanne.
Kellyanne and Donald in the White House is akin to all the worst ‘hillbilly goes to the big city’ tropes. Except this is real life! I can’t even imagine what they do when the cameras aren’t there.
Charlamagne said it best: “Why does Kellyanne Conway look like a thot in college that’s about to show the whole fraternity what that mouth can do?” Disrespectful, but…
Charlamagne has no filter. I live in the eternal hope that somebody will stupidly book Trump onto that show
She didn’t follow a lot of the controversy yet she’s on TV talking about it. Really? They can’t tell the truth about anything can they.
Kind of like there was no contact between Trump’s campaign and Russia and to prove it Trump vows to find the leakers whom he alleges were made up The NY Times.
This administration is a seething ball of lies. I have to hold on to the hope that it will soon come crashing down on them.
Imagine if Michelle Obama would have done that, the Republicans would have gone nuts.
We’ll, there’s a photo doing the rounds with Michelle Obama sitting, one leg tucked, on a couch. The trumpsters are trying to rebut Conway criticism with it. 🙁
I really, really don’t want the focus on this sad excuse of a human. Kellyanne, like Donald, is just such a pathological, attention-seeking liar, it pains me to even discuss her. I don’t care about her posture, seating form or manners…but I do care that she has a such a platform in the media and the whitehouse.
Horrible, and like the snl clip suggests, a bottom-feeder operator that’s around to stay.
I would love a blown up replica of that picture on the cover of Time. The official picture of Joffrey’s favorite lackey, kneeling on the couch in the WH in front of dignitaries, with her dress hiked up too close for comfort to her girl parts and her legs spread open. The queen of alternative facts who looks like a 10 am martini drinking mom all loosey goosey waiting for an autograph. All she needed was a Pall Mall hanging from her lips and a hole in her famous pantyhose. The clock is ticking beotch.
@Nancy, love the 10 am martini mom reference. Kellyanne reminds me of Regina’s mom in “Mean Girls.” Looking at that photo, I can almost hear her saying, “There are no rules in this House. I’m not like a regular counselor to the Prez, I’m a cool counselor to the Prez!” and “If you’re going to put your feet on the couch, I’d rather you do it in the House.”
Someone speculated that she posed like that to show how “comfortable” she is in the White House, since she’s, ya know, not being shut out of the inner circle. Makes sense to me.
And I guffawed when she said she wasn’t really paying attention to the controversy. The one she very calculatedly manufactured.
Exactly – she made it all about herself rather than the conflict of African American leaders attempting working toward equality with a problematic administration.
And still is. If she wasn’t a fame whore, she’d have laughed it off and said, “It was a stupid way to sit, let’s move on to more serious issues.”
Can’t help but wonder if she is taking pictures for when she writes her book, you know she will. There is no reason she needed to take one on her phone.
Unfortunately she got what she wanted. Lou “put her on the news.”
(If you haven’t seen the SNL Kellyanne Fatal attraction skit, go watch it. I love Kate McKinnon.)
I’d love to see what KM would do with that pose. (-;
Did Trump fire the White House photography whose JOB it is to take pictures?
#Sarcasm
She was disrespectful to the people at the meeting. I don’t know if she disrespected the office; I think the entire administration does so I wouldn’t necessarily single her out.
ETA: I think his smug face after he signs EO’s is much more disrespectful to the office.
I was wondering the same thing; why she was even taking the picture in the first place when photographers were *already there taking pictures*?
Honestly contway looked like she was anticipating a gangbang. Sorry. Not sorry
Obviously, the men in the room were not interested in contracting an STD.
LMFAO!!!
Someone posted yesterday that the boltons had taken over winterfell.
Dead on.
LOL
Kellyanne is brain dead, such a stupid woman
You can say that again.
I’m in no way defending her as I that she is awful, but there is no way that she is stupid. Before she joined up with the Human Cheeto she was a very well respected pollster. She also has a JD from GW. I preferred my law school in DC, but GW has a great law school. Anyway, she looks unhealthy and on the edge. If I were her, I would take my blood money and check myself into an exclusive spa for a month. I am also lazy.😊
It’s also dangerous to call her stupid because it diminishes the danger of people like her. This woman is calculating and ambitious, traits that are being used in service of herself than the people. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
Too little too late, witch!!!!
There was absolutely no reason for her to be taking the pic. Since when did Senior Counselors to the President start acting as photographers. I’m sure there are some toilets you could clean, Kellyanne.
Fake news …
Hey did you see the fake news on CNN this morning? They’re actually saying that Trump’s speech was a good one.
Omg, kitten, I know!! Noooooo. Pls don’t tell me his plan is working to silence any journalists who don’t report what he wants.
Don’t worry. He can’t hold it together. He’ll soon be back to the donald we know and hate.
There are other ways she could have taken pictures if they really wanted them at this angle. Should’ve let the real photographers take the pictures. No need for her to be spread eagle in a short dress while still wearing shoes on the couch in front of all these people. Have some class Kellyanne!
Lol When I first started reading this story I thought, “why didn’t they just hire a professional photographer?”
I feel like she should be fighting with Skeletor over the Castle of Grayskull in a great battle against He-Man.
Somebody – who took HER picture – obviously wanted the picture leaked to the press. That is what you get for having so many people dislike you…
While I understand the frustration with the situation, I think it’s more important that we not get distracted and lose focus on more important issues by what, in my humble opinion, is a relatively trivial matter.
It’s a disrespectful display of cluelessness, I get it, but at this moment, I’m more worried about the passage of Betsy Devos’s education bill, the continued investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia, the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, etc.
Everything about this woman is gross. That is all.
The WH just let KellyAnne Conjob off the hook for giving Ivanka the Terrible a free f@&$ing commercial on a Fox!
Jesus! I hate these people with a passion.
“It’s everyone else’s fault” “But I have CHILDREN!” “People are mean” “This journalist has it out for me/Trump”
“I’m not a victim”
STFU
That’s such a sh***y angle to take a pic
Honestly, I can’t stand her or anyone else near Trump, but there are bigger fish to fry. It’s not like any of us were expecting her to act like she’s ‘had some raising’.
Classless. The whole lot of them. From what his wife and daughter wore that evening to this. But this takes it to a whole new level. What a lady. Isn’t he the one one where it’s rumored he wants female staff to dress like women???? Maybe he should tell them they also need to sit like ladies as well.
What is it with these Trump Toadies? Everything has to be the biggest of all time. 🙄 Why was she taking pictures anyway? She looks so unprofessional, disrespectful, and ill mannered in that photo. Are my tax dollars paying for her? I object.
I might be alone here, but I genuinely think she was just trying to take a picture from a particular angle.. Whether someone else asked her to do it or not, that’s irrelevant. I just don’t get the hype. And I do not understand where “white privilege” comes into this at all.
I think an even better story is that fake, strained smile on Emperor Baby Fists face. I’m dying!!! He is such a phony POS.
Any imbecile can see Kellyanne’s couch pose was inappropriate in the extreme and insinuates an intimacy with the CEO. Dreadful.
