The snap, which shows a smirking Claudia, 19, and smiling George, quickly went viral on X as users noted the irony of the family of Donald Trump's former adviser cheering for his rival.
"MAGA’s most-hated," Claudia teased Republicans in the picture's caption.
Trump supporters were quick to slam the teen for the post, which was shared during the first night of the convention on Monday.
"I am sorry for you. You should listen to your mom," one user bashed.

"America’s most hated…" another wrote.
"I feel so bad for your mom....you and ur dad are just pathetic," a third replied.
"Don't flatter yourselves," one Maga supporter wrote.
Claudia told The U.S. Sun she's not surprised or swayed by the harsh comments - and that the jokes are on them because she's attending the DNC with both her mom and her dad.

"All those comments that are saying that - I'm with my parents right now and we feel sorry for them," she said.
"A lot of these people live on Twitter like my mom always says, and they don't like seeing a woman with an opinion on either side," Claudia continued.

In response to the comments she said were "filled with vitriol, hatred, and jealousy," she would tell her critics to "open a book and educate yourselves."
Claudia said she jumped at the opportunity to attend the DNC as it's her first time voting in a presidential election.
"There's a lot of excitement and a lot of attention on the election cycle at this moment - it's something that everybody has their eyes on," she shared.

- Barack Obama, one of the most influential figures in the Democratic Party since leaving the Oval Office in 2017, called Trump a "whining and childish" billionaire.
CONWAY CONTROVERSY
The hate against Claudia continued when she posted on X, "Will be going live in the next thirty minutes or so with @gtconway3d and @KellyannePolls here on X and also on Instagram!"
"Oy - can’t you guys just talk over dinner, or something?" one user commented.
Claudia's parents announced in 2023 that they were getting divorced after 22 years of marriage.
“We married more than two decades ago, cherish the many happy years (and four corgis) we’ve shared, and above all else, our four incredible children, who remain the heartbeat of our family and our top priority,” Kellyanne and George wrote in a statement announcing their divorce.
Kellyanne was famously involved in the Trump campaign. However, George publicly criticized the former president and actively worked against the business mogul's reelection in 2020.
Former campaign manager Kellyanne is still a popular Republican figure as she just debuted a weekly series on Fox News last month.
Claudia, Kellyanne, and George attended night two of the DNC, which saw Barack and Michelle Obama give speeches.
Other Democrat voices included Illinois Governor JB Pritzker - who followed Senator Bernie Sanders - and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

HISTORIC NIGHT
Tuesday night's roll call was purely ceremonial, as Harris previously secured the party's nomination.
Harris confirmed she had enough delegates earlier this month during virtual voting between August 1 and August 5.
She was officially declared the party's nominee on August 5 and named Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate shortly after.
The convention was buzzing as each state participated in the roll call, confirming their vote for the vice president as the party's candidate.
Celebrities and influencers alike made their way to Chicago to assist in announcing each state's votes.
Rapper Lil' Jon made a special appearance, performing some verses from his popular 2013 song Turn Down for What as Georgia cast its vote.
"We're not going back," the rapper chanted with the crowd.
Actor Sean Astin (known for The Goonies and The Lord of the Rings) also showed up to represent his home state of Indiana.
"I want what's best for Indiana and that means electing Kamala Harris, the first woman president of the United States," said Astin.
Eva Longoria, Spike Lee, and actor Wendell Pierce (known for Suits, and The Wire) were also among the celebrities in attendance during the second night.
