GOP Rep. Mayra Flores accuses Speaker Nancy Pelosi of ‘pushing’ daughter during photo op

A newly elected GOP congresswoman accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of pushing her young daughter during a photo op at her swearing-in ceremony last week.

Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas made the accusation after a video posted on social media showed her posing with Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her family at the ceremony with conservative commentators saying the speaker elbowed Flores daughter.

No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!! Flores captioned a retweet of the video.

I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her, she said. She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen.

The video shows Pelosi, standing next to Flores daughter, as she waves over the family s pastor. Pelosi then looks at the girl and extends her elbow at the same point that the child moves over.
