Ellie Delgado, a student from Houston, Texas, has gone viral for a dramatic hand gesture caught on camera at an election party on November 6.
After a middle-aged man said something to her at the party, Delgado appeared to look very offended, throwing up her hand and strutting away.
A social media user saw footage of Delgado and tweeted: “Twitter please find this girl, I have to know what that guy said to her.”

Setting the record straight, she tweeted saying: “It’s just my dad talking about a woman he wants to date.”
The dramatic interaction took place at a watching party for Texas candidate Dan Crenshaw at the US midterm election.
The candidate for the House won his race in Texas against Democrat Todd Litton.
