VIDEO: Pelosi Shoves Young Daughter of GOP Representative
Worrisome political violence this is not, but a strange incident has been recorded over the weekend involving Nancy Pelosi and the young daughter of a Republican Representative from Texas.
An interaction between the House Speaker and the young girl got quite the reaction from her mother.
A newly-elected congresswoman took to Twitter and accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of pushing her young daughter during a photo op last week.

“She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen,” Flores said of her daughter.
So, what happened?
The video shows Pelosi waving to someone off-camera when she looks down to Flores’ daughter standing next to her and extends her elbow at the same time the child moves to the side.
