Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was recently caught on video appearing to shove the young daughter of Texas Republican Congresswoman Mayra Flores during her swearing in ceremony.
Flores did not appear to notice the alleged “pushing” during the ceremony, but would later comment on the situation after videos of the nudge began circulating online.
“No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!” Flores wrote in a Twitter post responding to the video depicting the incident on Sunday. “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,” she said.

Pelosi has come under fire over the incident with many prominent internet figures condemning the House Speakers apparent actions.
“Nancy Pelosi is a snob and a bully! The sweet little girl got too close Nancy?” Newsmax host G Raymond Kelly, formerly known as Greg Kelly, wrote on Twitter.
“The simple white dress ‘clash’ with your designer PANTSUIT?” He added, “I’ve seen [Joe Biden] literally LICK Children at similar events. So This is bad. But better than JOE!”

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, whose popularity among conservatives in America rose following an interview with former President Donald Trump at the White House in 2020, slammed Pelosi over the “assault” of Flores’ daughter.
“How about Pelosi pushing this little girl out of the paint? Giuliani woulda called for the death penalty for this type of assault.” The sports mogul added, “Politicians are absolute worst people on earth. I wish this little girl swung on her.”

Pelosi has since been called a “witch,” a “drunk,” and a “horrible person” for seemingly shoving the little girl for what appears to be a photo opportunity.
Through her office, Pelosi has claimed that she does not drink alcohol.

Flores gained national notoriety after Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk revealed that he voted for her in his first Republican ballot since registering as a Republican. She faces reelection this November in a district that has been redrawn to favor Democrats.
Valiant News previously reported that Paul Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of Speaker Pelosi, was recently been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and causing injury by the Napa County District Attorney’s office.
“Today, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office issued a criminal complaint, filing charges against Paul Pelosi based upon an automobile collision and driving under the influence arrest on May 28th,2022,” the law enforcement agency said in a statement. “The collision occurred on State Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road at 10:17 pm.”
