Good old Nancy Pelosi, ever the elitist. The Speaker can’t seem to stand when little brown children stand close to her for a photo op. Just take a look at this elbow jab she lands on Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas’s daughter.
The video went viral online but the nets have mostly remained silent. The footage at the center of the controversy was recorded at the ceremonial swearing-in Pelosi hosted for Flores on Tuesday.
Flores will serve out the rest of U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela’s term and will face another election in November against Democratic nominee Vicente Gonzalez.

“Clearly, Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person … but what really made me smile about this is the young lady is being raised right. She moved right back over and blew off the nasty elbow,” radio host Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo tweeted.
“Has the Left excused Nancy Pelosi’s elbow to Mayra Flores’ daughter yet, or are they ignoring it; same as they’ve done with everything since Biden was elected? Couldn’t have been my daughter. I would have broken all kinds of decorum. ‘ELBOW MY KID AGAIN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!’” Zeek Arkham added.
“It’s about the children…” says Speaker Pelosi,” House candidate Chip Roy wrote.
Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas accused Pelosi of assaulting her daughter after the above video showed her posing with Pelosi 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.”
