Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is being accused by recently elected Texas Congresswoman Mayra Flores of shoving her young daughter during her swearing-in ceremony last week in Congress. As Flores has her hand on the bible, Pelosi was seen shoving the young child with her elbow.
The child stood strong and didn’t let Pelosi push her around.

“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. No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD,” Flores said of the assault by Pelosi.
Last week, Pelosi’s husband was charged with driving while intoxicated.
Conservative commentator James Woods said the episode, “Show’s her true colors.”
Flores, 30, became the first Mexican-born member of Congress after winning a special election this year.
