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.

“Pelosi was standing just as close to the guy on her left but didn’t move away from him.”
True. The guy wasn’t a problem. The conservative’s little girl was a problem. She took time to scope out the little girl, make a decision, and then give her the elbow.
She’s heinous.
The sweet little girl almost got elbowed in the face by Nancy’s incessant arm waving.
What most women who are mothers would have done is apologize and encourage the children to move forward out of harm’s way.
Excellent video bit for any GOP Hispanic candidate TV ad.
Voice over: “Think Nancy and the dems care about Hispanics? As long as they keep their distance and know their place.”
I’d call it a “push”.
Watch it in full speed. Slow motion makes it look less pushy.
It was a “get away from me” shove.
If you get any closer you might “touch” me little Republican, Hispanic, Brown, girl.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
Nudge it wasn’t.
Come on dude, let's be fair. Biden would love to get close to a young girl like that, even if she was hispanic.
OUCH!
Well, it’s not as bad as getting a tittie twister from Biden.
But we do agree on the paw part…. So there’s that. 😀
Loved that spunky little girl…just like her Mom and Dad!
