Rep. Flores (R-Texas) has responded to a video in which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appeared to elbow away Flores’ daughter during her swearing-in ceremony last week.

A video posted on social media Sunday night showed Pelosi standing next to Flores’ two daughters on stage as the speaker swore in Flores on June 21. Pelosi looked down at the girl next to her and positioned her forearm and elbow to nudge the child to the side.
