Newly elected Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of “pushing” her young daughter out of the way during a swearing-in ceremony last week.
In a video of the moment shared on social media, the California Democrat can be seen using her elbow to move the child away from her.
“I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her,” Flores tweeted, sharing the video. “She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen. No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!”
During the ceremony, Pelosi welcomed the congresswoman to the Capitol and lower chamber and said she’s “grateful for her leadership and her beautiful family who is here today.”
She also wished the GOP lawmaker luck.
“Thank you, Congresswoman Flores, for your courage to run for office and best wishes for your success,” Pelosi said. “It’s an honor to work with you.”
Flores was elected to the seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela in the historically Democratic 34th Congressional District.

I doubt it.
She’d as likely claim the girl ran into her.

You would never see Biden pushing a little girl away.

“On the other hand I don’t like people getting too close to me either. I like having my personal space. The young girl hasn’t figured that out yet.”
BS. Pelosi was standing just as close to the guy on her left but didn’t move away from him.
Why does our side always step in to explain for the democrats?

Pelosi is a mean, petty, evil person. Nothing she would do would surprise me. Nothing.

Happens everywhere— servants don’t know their place and their annoying offspring are everywhere.
It was a very polite little shove.
One of Pelosi’s interns should have grabbed the little rascal while the grownups did their picture moment. The better sort of candidates don’t let their kids misbehave this way.
Again— Why, oh why, don’t the little people know their place?

The gavel will need to be removed from her clutched paw by the embalmer.

Pretty sure the gavel is NOT in her paw based on the way she walks. 😉

You call it explain, I call it apologize for them.
