"I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her," Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) said in a tweet with a video of the incident that took place during her swearing-in ceremony on June 21.
"She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen," Flores said of her daughter.
The video shows Pelosi waving to someone off-camera when she looks down to Flores’ daughter standing next to her and spreads her elbow at the same time the child moves to the side.
"No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!" Flores added in the tweet.

The incident took place as Pelosi applauded the newly-elected Flores, 30, to the House of Representatives.
"It’s a great honor to welcome Congresswoman Flores to the Capitol and to the Congress of the United States with great congratulations," Pelosi said Sunday. "And again, grateful for her leadership and her beautiful family who is here today."

Flores is an outspoken pro-life Texan who praised the U.S. Supreme Court's recent overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"I thank God for the Supreme Court's historic decision today. It is clear that the Constitution never created a right to abortion, and this ruling rightly returns the authority to regulate abortion back to the people and their elected representatives in the states. All life is precious, and today life won," she wrote on social media.

Flores will face another election in November against Democratic nominee Vicente Gonzalez.
It’s unclear from the footage if Pelosi’s arm makes contact with the girl, but one Republican commentator, actor James Woods, said the video is clear evidence of the Democratic lawmaker displaying “her true colors.” Conservative columnist and TV show host Benny Johnson called Pelosi a “witch” in response to the video.
“Nancy Pelosi ELBOWS the little daughter of new GOP Congresswoman Mayra Flores — what a witch,” he tweeted.
