When I first saw the video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appearing to shove the little daughter of Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) with her elbow during a photo-op for her swearing-in, I thought perhaps it was a manipulated video or maybe the angles weren’t clear. Then I noticed a C-Span video that looked exactly the same.

We reported that Nancy looked at the child and moved her elbow. Then, she moved to her right.
Mayra Florences has confirmed it. Flores replied to James Woods, an actor who commented on the incident.
My strong and beautiful daughter is so proud that she didn’t let this deter her. As a queen, she smiled and posed for the photo.
Photographs should never be taken of children. PERIOD!! https://t.co/TA50EntDoq

“I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her. She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen,” Flores said. “No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!”
I don’t get what was going on in Pelosi’s mind. If you think the child is too close to you, you bend over and say, “Honey, can you move a little to the right.” You don’t shove her with your elbow like she’s just not worth your time. But it’s a photo-op, it’s just a few seconds, and everyone is supposed to be close to each other, so what’s the issue here?
Keep in mind that this lady is constantly claiming she does all for children. “Children, children, children,” San Fran Nan intones. Of course, that’s just so many bull cookies. Her power, and that of the Democratic Party are the reasons she does the things she does.
Could it be a little latent hostility for Flores’ win in a previously Democratic district and the coming GOP wave in November? If so, that’s pretty petty to take it out on a little child. Flores’ win is one sign that Democrats are rapidly losing Hispanic voters because of their extremism as well as failures on the economy. She even got Elon Musk’s vote. Pelosi officially thanked Flores. “It’s a great honor to welcome Congresswoman Flores to the Capitol and to the Congress of the United States with great congratulations,” Pelosi said in that video. “And again, grateful for her leadership and her beautiful family who is here today.” Pelosi’s office hasn’t responded yet to the incident or on Flores’ comments.
Flores said that her daughter stood in the ring like a champion, which is commendable. Flores herself shows that she’s not going to take things lying down, that she’s going to be vocal and she’s already not been shy about speaking out.
