Kellyanne Conway explains feet on Oval Office couch: 'I certainly meant no disrespect' [View all]

Trenton -- New Jersey native Kellyanne Conway apologized Tuesday night following a daylong uproar from critics who took her to task for putting her feet on a couch in the Oval Office.

Conway, who grew up in South Jersey and currently serves as counselor to President Donald Trump, sparked a brouhaha on social media after images were released showing her kneeling on the coach inside the president's office.

Conway told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business she "certainly meant no disrespect."

"I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us, and I was asked to take a certain angle," Conway said. "I certainly meant no disrespect, I didn't mean to have my feet on the couch."
