The owner of the San Francisco salon where Nancy Pelosi had her hair done fought back tears as she again denied setting up the House speaker, who she insisted should be the one to apologize to the American people, according to reports. Erica Kious, owner of eSalon, on Monday released a video of Pelosi walking around her business bare-faced, sparking charges of hypocrisy in light of the lawmaker’s frequent calls to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously. Kious has said she rents out chairs to independent stylists and claimed she did not leak the video for “political” reasons

San Francisco Mayor London Breed attempted to redirect fire at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi toward the president after security footage showed Pelosi getting her hair done with no mask inside a salon. The video showed Pelosi inside the hair salon, which is currently not permitted in California. Salons have been closed since March, with state restrictions only allowing outdoor appointments beginning in September. Pelosi claims that she was "set up" by the salon owner and blamed the owner for giving false information about state restrictions. The Democrat mayor backed up Pelosi and dismissed the notion that the Speaker was violating...

Nancy Pelosi will never live this one down. The Democratic House speaker was captured on security footage -- leaked to Fox News -- inside a San Francisco hair salon not wearing a mask, even though the city's Covid-19 restrictions only allow service outside. Cue a gleeful eruption from conservative media and from President Donald Trump himself, who slammed her for not wearing a mask "despite constantly lecturing everyone else." Pelosi comes across as a hypocrite, since she has frequently rebuked Trump for undermining government advice on masks. Her office's excuse that her face was uncovered only when she got her...

I realize, it was Biden himself that said that one isn't black if one votes for Trump. But we all know, the idea's root is at AOC, Omar/Tlaib types. Recently, after the Beirut explosion, and Arab Lebanese began criticizing the armed Hezbollah, an Amerucan radical left called these Arabs "sellouts". His name is Ben Norton.

...What Pelosi did was hand Trump, whose entire strategy, such as it is, in the 2020 campaign is to troll liberals and media, a massive gift-wrapped present with her salon trip. For Trump and his Republican allies, the whole episode affirms everything they have been saying these last few years about liberals. Whether Pelosi thought she was following the rules in place is lost entirely in the Trump campaign's rush to use the incident as a symbol of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do culture that they argue pervades the Democratic Party -- on Covid-19 (and everything else.) This tweet, from Trump's campaign, which...

It was tempting to begin this article by asking if we may have possibly entered the dumbest news cycle of 2020, but that ship probably sailed months ago. Still, this inane story doesn’t show any signs of going away, so let’s just solider on as best we can.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is, at this point, in violation of the First Rule of Holes. When you find yourself in one… stop digging. But San Fran Nan apparently can’t help herself. I am of course referring to her ill-fated trip to a beauty salon to get her hair done sans mask...

President Donald Trump heartily criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recently unearthed violation of California’s coronavirus order with a pair of tweets on Wednesday morning. “Crazy Nancy Pelosi is being decimated for having a beauty parlor opened, when all others are closed, and for not wearing a Mask – despite constantly lecturing everyone else,” Trump wrote. “We will almost certainly take back the House, and send Nancy packing!” The president added that “the Beauty Parlor owner must really dislike Crazy Nancy Pelosi. Turning her in, on tape.” Trump further criticized Pelosi for backing Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy in the state’s...

Crazy Nancy Pelosi is being decimated for having a beauty parlor opened, when all others are closed, and for not wearing a Mask - despite constantly lecturing everyone else. We will almost certainly take back the House, and send Nancy packing!

Now Christine Pelosi is getting in on HairGate, sharing a nastygram from a lawyer who doubles as a creepy big brother snoop.

Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), released a letter from a law firm on Wednesday afternoon that attacked the owner of the salon that Pelosi recently visited in apparent violation of coronavirus lockdown rules. The letter from attorney Matthew Soleimanpour was on behalf of Jonathan De Nardo, a California Certified Cosmetologist based out of San Francisco, California. The letter stated: In response to press inquiries on the matter, Mr. De Nardo can confirm that he indeed did provide professional stylist services to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) on August 31, 2020, at the “eSalon,” located …...

by Samantha Foster No, Queen Nancy, this is NOT going away. The Speaker of the House thought she could make SalonGate disappear today by claiming she was "set up" by the San Francisco Salon where Pelosi broke COVID-19 restrictions to get her hair done -- without a mask (at age 80!)- while all other city salons were required to be closed. Now it turns out her claim was a big fat lie. Salon owner Erica Kious disputed Pelosi’s (D-CA) claim that she was “set up”, saying that Pelosi was the one who called and set up the appointment, and...

Erica Kious, a single mother of two and owner of eSalon, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got her hair done on Monday is now being forced to shut down and relocate her business and family due to outrage and threats she is receiving. A maskless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited eSalon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic. San Francisco's coronavirus guidelines allowed hair salons to reopen their businesses for outdoor services starting Tuesday, with clients seen one at a time. Haircuts are permitted, according to the guidance, but...

A group that has lobbied Gov. Gavin Newsom to relax statewide COVID-19 restrictions on the personal service sector is blasting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after she was captured on video at an indoor hair salon without a mask. “Our entire industry was appalled at the hypocrisy and flaunting of lockdown orders displayed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, yesterday. How dare our rulers go about their lives, maskless and in open defiance of the rules they have imposed upon our state licensed beauty professionals!” the Professional Beauty Federation said in a statement. Fred Jones, counsel for the federation, said that there is...

On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released a statement via her deputy chief of staff confessing to breaking city lockdown rules to get her hair done indoors at a San Francisco salon on Monday, seemingly without wearing a mask. Pelosi, however, is not admitting to any wrongdoing, instead shifting blame to the salon she visited. “The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements,” said a statement from Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill, according to FOX KTVU. “This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed...

MADISON — This is how incompetent Gov. Tony Evers’ bloated bureaucracy is: The agency charged with licensing and regulating businesses in Wisconsin is investigating an Appleton hair salon owner for failing to comply with a state order invalidated three months ago by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.Trey Armstrong, an investigator for the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), sent Kingdom Kutz owner Jessica Netzel an email advising her that the agency had received a complaint against her.“The Division of Legal Services and Compliance is conducting an investigation of this complaint and I have been assigned as the investigator,” Armstrong...

The recent spate of protests against police brutality have changed the way the left thinks about rioting. The old liberal idea, which distinguished between peaceful protests (good) and rioting (bad), has given way to a more radical analysis. “Riots work,” insists George Ciccariello-Maher in Salon. “But despite the obviousness of the point, an entire chorus of media, police, and self-appointed community leaders continue to try to convince us otherwise, hammering into our heads a narrative of a nonviolence that has never worked on its own, based on a mythical understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.” Vox’s German Lopez, while acknowledging...

What is the difference between liberty and freedom in the eyes of many Americans? Absolutely nothing. And therein lies not only the problem driving the culture war around coronavirus shelter-in-place orders but also arguably the crux of all fronts of America's culture wars, from guns to religion to speech to - now, it seems - haircuts. It is a slippage skillfully leveraged by conservatives. This week in Michigan, armed protesters are heeding the call. But the petulant rallying cries echo across the United States. "Give me liberty or give me death!" - so goes the universal whine, lifted from Patrick...

EXCLUSIVE: Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther, who was ordered jailed for seven days Tuesday after she violated a local coronavirus-related business closure order, joined "Hannity" for an interview Thursday, hours after her release. Luther said she is feeling much better after being allowed to go back home, and told host Sean Hannity she stands by her decision not to apologize as instructed by state District Judge Eric Moye. "That was the last thing I was going to do, honestly," she said. " ... I just couldn't, I couldn't bring myself to apologize."
