Strong criticism from social media users and the Texas volley,Myra Flores[/B] was met by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who appeared to "push" her young daughter during a photo op.
Republican Flores made the claim on Twitter after her swearing-in ceremony at the US Capitol last week, during which she and her daughter posed with Pelosi.
In the video released on Twitter, Pelosi appears to make a gesture with her elbow toward Flores' daughter, though it is unclear if there is contact.

"I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to affect her," Republican Flores told her Twitter followers on Sunday.
"She kept smiling and posing for the photo like a queen," Flores added. "No child should be pushed for a photo," she added."
The video was shared by a pro-Republican account called "Face of America," which wrote: "Nancy tried to terrorize her daughter Myra Flores, but our little queen stood her ground!"
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi's spokesman on Monday accused the media of doctoring the video, noting that the House Speaker was "just trying to make sure the little girl wasn't hiding" in the photo.
"It's sad to see news outlets that know well how to distort the president's attempt to ensure that Representative Flores' daughters would not be hidden behind her in all the photos of such an important moment for their family," Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hamill, wrote on Twitter."
