The White House has hung the mistletoe for the holiday season.
"The mistletoe is a new touch," CNN's Kate Bennett tweeted on Monday morning, from a tour of the White House.
Some people saw the mistletoe as a faux pas, in light of the wave of sexual harassment and assault allegations that have swept the news.
President Donald Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by 16 women.
Typically, the decision to hang mistletoe would not be controversial. And, some people argued that it still should be accepted as a holiday tradition, despite the allegations against Trump and the recent prominence of sexual harassment more generally.
