Two weeks ago Mayra Flores was victorious in Texas. She flipped a House seat that had been held by Democrats since over 100 years. Another piece of evidence that points to an historic shift toward the GOP in November was the 84 percent Hispanic District.
But I’m not here to talk about any of that. In fact, I’ll just go ahead and open with an admission that I don’t have some deep analysis to provide about what I’m about to share. But it’s the weekend, and this was just way too weird to ignore.
During Mayra Flores’ swearing-in, Nancy Pelosi was standing next to one of Flores’ daughters. Apparently, Pelosi didn’t like how close she got, though, and shoved her away with her elbow.

I’ve watched the video a few times, and I’m not really coming up with an explanation for Pelosi’s behavior that doesn’t make her look bad. Did she not want Flores’ daughter to touch her? If she didn’t, why not! I can honestly say that I’ve never found the need to shove a kid who stood too close to me during a picture. Pelosi might be a germaphobe.
Or maybe Pelosi just doesn’t like kids? That wouldn’t be shocking given her support for abortion until birth, a position she’s reiterated lately following the overturning of Roe V. Wade. She’s devoutly Catholic, though. I’m assured of it.
Regardless, I did find it funny that Flores’ daughter stood her ground, leaning right back into Pelosi after being pushed away. One word: Respect.
Let’s hear your thoughts. Are you a pusher or a reflex that is unintentional? All that and more for curious minds.
