WASHINGTON (AFP) - Counselor to the US president Kellyanne Conway sparked social media fury late Monday after kneeling on a White House sofa with her shoes on.

Many Twitter users were quick to berate Conway, with many calling her body language a sign of "disrespect."

Some drew comparisons to a 2013 photo of former president Barack Obama with his feet up on the desk of the Oval Office.
