Nancy Pelosi says she was victim of 'setup' in hair salon mask dispute

Source: The Guardian

Nancy Pelosi has claimed to have been “set up”, after she was photographed in a San Francisco hair salon without a face covering, breaking the city’s coronavirus prevention rules.

“I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to many times,” the House speaker said on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. “It was a setup, and I take responsibility for falling for a setup.”

Salons in San Francisco have been closed during the coronavirus pandemic, with limited outdoor operations beginning only on Tuesday.

Security camera footage obtained by Fox News showed Pelosi, the House speaker and the most powerful Democrat in Washington, walking through the e Salon SF with a mask around her neck. The footage was filmed on Monday.

...with security cam footage and an exclusive interview claiming that Pelosi had basically forced her way in.

It just goes to show that you need to know the political leanings of neighborhood businesses you patronize. It sickens me that I have to boycott the nearby espresso shop/restaurant where I was an almost-daily customer for years because, during the initial wave of protests following George Floyd's murder, they recruited a bunch of their clientele with pickup trucks and AR-15's to "guard" the place because they claimed to have heard rumors that they were being "targeted by Antifa" because "we are a community-loving, law-enforcement-supporting small business." F*** them!

27. The real reason Trump wants to talk about Pelosi's hair
Wed Sep 2, 2020, 09:24 PM
Sep 2020
(CNN)While President Donald Trump is threatening American democracy, fueling violence and strife, and continuing to make the US an outlier in coronavirus cases and deaths, he and his GOP minions want us to focus on Nancy Pelosi's hair.
Yes, the Speaker of the House did something selfish and stupid: She got her hair done inside a San Francisco salon, in violation of that city's coronavirus rules, and walked, maskless (according to security footage obtained by Fox News) from one room to another apparently after getting her hair washed. (The Speaker's staff insist she wore her mask at all other times during her hair styling and had gone inside as a result of incorrect information from someone at the salon about what was allowed by brand-new city regulations.)

First off, we have FAR bigger issues to worry about right now than a single individual in a hair salon.

Secondly, it's the right wing that has been crying about 'it's their right' not to wear a mask or to keep doing business during the pandemic. Now all of a sudden when a prominent Democrat gets conned into this situation it's somehow a huge deal. BULLSHIT!!!!

Donald tRump has scammed businesses, employees, and contractors out of millions of dollars. He has sexually assaulted women, mocked the disabled, committed adultery untold times, and GOPers have a problem with THIS ?!?!?!?

Rep Pelosi's stylist was not available, so the stylist referred her to someone else.

The referral stylist rents a chair at the salon in question. S/He doesn't own it.

Over the past weekend, it was all over local news that salons in the area could offer indoor services as of 8/31. Only three counties were still on outdoor services only as of 8/31. Unfortunately, it seems like the stylist didn't know that SF County was one of those three counties.

The stylist does not have a key to the salon, so s/he called the owner to ask for access on 8/31.

The owner, instead of telling the stylist that SF County still required that salons refrain from indoor services as of 8/31, asked the stylist who the client was.

(I'm guessing if it were the likes of Danielle Steel, or Marissa Mayer, the Monday appt would have been just fine with a nod and a wink from the owner.)

And since the owner is a Trumpette, she decided that her personal reputation in San Francisco didn't mean as much to her as a chance to be Fox Famous For Five Hot Minutes.

In closing, I'm betting the salon owner is probably getting ready to close her SF salon, and figures that her despicable actions will help her business where she actually lives - Fresno.

Thu Sep 3, 2020, 02:21 PM
Sep 2020

(snip)

The stylist who did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hair says the appointment was, in fact, a setup by the San Francisco salon owner, given the woman’s “political leanings.”

Jonathan DeNardo released a lengthy statement defending Pelosi and claiming Erica Kious, who owns eSalon, authorized the Monday hair appointment in a phone call two days prior.

(snip)

DeNardo, who’s worked at eSalon for six years, also claimed Kious has been operating her business illegally during the pandemic since at least April.

He said the owner can be seen in pictures and on video doing clients’ hair, “ignoring social distancing guidelines, and not wearing protective equipment (masks), as recently as a few days prior to Speaker Pelosi’s arrival at eSalon.”

“What’s more, Ms. Kious has also been actively encouraging and almost forcing stylists who operate at eSalon to violate such orders for her own financial benefit in the form of receiving lease payments,” DeNardo added.

He concluded, “The fact that Ms. Kious is now objecting to Speaker Pelosi’s presence at eSalon, and from a simple surface-level review of Ms. Kious’ political leanings, it appears Ms. Kious is furthering a set-up of Speaker Pelosi for her own vain aspirations. Mr. DeNardo’s name has now been dragged through the mud for simply following Ms. Kious’ recommendations.”

Well, you're providing plenty by agreeing with them.

She's a human being. She's not perfect all the goddam time. She trusted a salon she went to for years. The rules keep changing of what's partly opened and what's not for all the different types of businesses and exactly what the restrictions are where I live all the time. She has a hell of a lot on her plate.

Leaked security footage from the appointment showed her at one point wearing a mask around her neck instead of over her face. [about 5 seconds of video is shown -Progree]

... In security video Fox News said it obtained ( https://video.foxnews.com/v/6186686290001#sp=show-clips ), Pelosi is seen walking through the eSalon in San Francisco on Monday afternoon with wet hair and with a mask at her neck instead of over her mouth and nose. Her stylist, DeNardo, is seen following her wearing a black face mask. It was unclear from the video whether she had the mask on her face during the rest of the appointment.

never get sick or stumble over a word or make the smallest mistake. And giving reasons for things, like Russian intervention in our elections, is "making excuses."

This is a rule for some reason. How many times in the past have I seen the same conversation: someone repeats misinformation and "concern" about a Democrat, someone posts links with the facts debunking it, the reply is an angry demand for why you think that person is perfect.

It's always something.

or "Making excuses digs the hole deeper."

(In other words, calling our Democratic House Speaker a liar without evidence, but using a careful word choice to not quite cross the boundary into post-removed-ville). And or a fucking idiot but not quite using those words (I actually juried a post that supported an OP titled, "How Can Nancy Be So Goddam Stupid". (The OP was shortly thereafter Post Removed).

And the stylist confirms Pelosi's version, but some DUers side with the Trumpist owner for some reason

And then there's the she shoulda she shoulda she shoulda posts.

JPR has nothing on us when it comes to tearing our Democratic general election candidates and leaders apart. One told me she had her mask off "the whole time", when all we have is a 5 second video with her hair wet walking back from where she had her hair washed, and the masked stylist walking more than 6 feet behind her.

And giving reasons for things, like Russian intervention in our elections, is "making excuses."

JPR home page says: Hate has no home here.

...the biggest bag of shit story I've ever heard...

...trump slithers around shitting on the Constitution, pissing on our democracy, violates thousands of laws, "..grabs 'em by the pussy.." and the media finds time to crucify Nancy for a haircut?

...we've got an election about to be stolen in the middle of a pandemic and our democracy compromised by domestic fascists and foreign enemies during increasing social unrest and we're supposed to be concerned abut a haircut...

...wow, this country is really beginning to suck...

...obviously caused by a massive failure of capitalism...

This is what she said:

“I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to many times,” the House speaker said on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. “It was a setup, and I take responsibility for falling for a setup.”

She is not claiming victimhood.
