A Secret Service agent was with Conway when she posed for the selfie.
She recently told CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell that she now has 24/7 Secret Service protection and that most White House staffers don't.
"I find that to be very unfortunate, and obviously if they didn't need to be there, they wouldn't be," Conway said.
