A photo-op for new Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas turned into a debate over what constitutes a shove after the Republican accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of pushing her daughter last week.
Conservatives erupted with outrage over a clip that showed Mrs. Pelosi using her elbow to nudge Ms. Flores’ young daughter to the right during a family swearing-in photo with the speaker. The congresswoman also took exception on Twitter.
“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,” the congresswoman’s official campaign account tweeted.
