House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to elbow newly-elected Republican Texas Rep. Mayra Flores’ daughter during her swearing-in ceremony June 21.
Flores praised her daughter’s behavior after footage appeared to show Pelosi moving her to the side with her right elbow during the photo op.
“I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her,” she said late Sunday. “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!!”
Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill said the Speaker tried to make sure Flores’ daughter would be visible in the photograph.
“It’s sad to see ‘news outlets’ that know better misrepresent the Speaker’s effort to ensure Rep. Flores’ daughters wouldn’t be hidden behind her in all of the photos of such an important moment for their family,” Hammill said.
