Pelosi's bad hair day

Pelosi calls controversial salon incident a 'setup'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she takes "responsibility for falling for a setup," following an acknowledgment from her office that she had gotten her hair styled Monday inside a San Francisco hair salon, an apparent violation of the city's Covid-19 safety regulations that enraged the salon's owner.

"I take responsibility for trusting the word of a neighborhood salon that I've been to over the years, many times, and that when they said we're able to accommodate people, one person at a time, and that we can set up that time, I trusted that. As it turns out, it was a setup. So I take responsibility for falling for a setup," the California Democrat said during a question and answer portion of an event in San Francisco.

They were really talking it up on the radio this morning about this. Nancy Pelosi got her hair done and she didn't wear a mask part of the time.

So, I wonder what they'll call this. "Salon-gate"?

 

[Twilight Hue]

Ah. The truth comes out.

 

[fantome profane]

She takes responsibility. How wonderful!

I wonder who is responsible for the dead ferret on Donald’s head.

 

[sun rise]

Donald takes no responsibility for anything that goes wrong and claims credit for what other people did.

That's the difference between doing something dumb and admitting it and refusing blame for everything.

She called it a "setup". I'm afraid I didn't quite understand: a. In what way was that a setup and b. How is calling something a setup owning up to the dumb mistake?

She takes responsibility. How wonderful!

I wonder who is responsible for the dead ferret on Donald’s head.

Yeah, she took responsibility by blaming the salon.

I guess the rules only apply to the masses.

The worst recession since the Great Depression, the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu, the worst president in the history of the country, and Americans are worried that the Speaker of the House committed a transgression not much worse than speeding.

Y'all are going to get what you deserve. The trouble is, you'll be taking millions of innocent people with you.

 

[Father Heathen]

Yeah, it was pretty stupid.

Trump supporters, however, aren't in a position to ridicule stupidity considering that they've deified it.

Apparently, the salon owner has been getting death threats, and people are threatening to burn her shop down.

Nancy Pelosi Gets Snippy Over Hair Appointment 'Setup': 'Salon Owes Me An Apology'

The salon owner said the security camera footage recorded a “display of hypocrisy.” She also dismissed setup allegations, saying she did not turn on the camera system to record the House Speaker.

Kious said it was never her intention to make a political statement when she decided to release the footage. She also claimed she received death threats and hate text messages after the video of the incident went viral. Some people allegedly threatened to burn down her hair salon.

San Francisco’s coronavirus guidelines on salons and other business establishments were lifted on Tuesday. Hair salons were allowed to schedule appointments that did not include shampooing and hair coloring services. Only one customer is allowed at a time. Clients are also required to wear a mask with ear loops while in salons.

New Apparently, the salon owner has been getting death threats, and people are threatening to burn her shop down.

Sadly, no surprise there.

Given the permanent bad hair on the President and his almost never wearing a mask, this seems, well, rather biased.

Should she have worn a mask? Yes. Even she admits it. Should the President wear a mask? Of course. yet he is in denial.

Who should we be criticizing here?

It just seems a little cold that she would so eagerly throw the little people at the salon under the bus, rather than just take her lickings... It's like something you would expect from a corrupt, 1980'S USSR official, rather than an honest American.

As opposed to what the President does on a daily basis?

Once again, yes, she should have known. And yes, the salon should have enforced the rules. Both share responsibility.

 

[Cooky]

As opposed to what the President does on a daily basis?

I'm unaware of the president throwing small business owners under the bus... Everyday people who have invested their lives in their business.

 

[Nova2216]

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Next speaker please.

 

[Polymath257]

I'm unaware of the president throwing small business owners under the bus... Everyday people who have invested their lives in their business.

No. He throws anyone who dares to criticize him under the bus.

Once again that salon *should* have required the rules be followed. Pelosi *should* have known the rules and followed them without being asked. BOTH are at fault.

 

[Cooky]

No. He throws anyone who dares to criticize him under the bus.

Once again that salon *should* have required the rules be followed. Pelosi *should* have known the rules and followed them without being asked. BOTH are at fault.

On a personal level, I consider it a failure of humanity, when one's loyalty to the law overrides their sense of decency to others... A kind of cult of personality that is on the rise in this country, and sadly, it does remind me 1980's USSR.

...She didn't have to ruin the reputation of the salon on a national level, when their good intentions were simply to accommodate her.

 

[Cooky]

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Next speaker please.

That's just the thing... political positions are meant to be temporary. Yet we see 'career politicians' like Nancy Pelosi clinging to power, following in in the footsteps of her father, Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., who also made a career out of politics.

She's part of the American nomenklatura... The ruling class.

 

[BSM1]

No. He throws anyone who dares to criticize him under the bus.

Once again that salon *should* have required the rules be followed. Pelosi *should* have known the rules and followed them without being asked. BOTH are at fault.

Could you give us a real example, please..

She called it a "setup". I'm afraid I didn't quite understand: a. In what way was that a setup and b. How is calling something a setup owning up to the dumb mistake?

Less than two hours later, Jonathan DeNardo, the stylist who blew out Pelosi's hair, released a statement through an attorney contradicting Kious.

The statement says the law firm is in possession of photographs and videotape that show that Kious has been operating her salon in violation of state and local restrictions since April. The statement also says that Kious authorized Pelosi coming to the salon for her blow out, and that she was critical of the House speaker because she erroneously believed Pelosi was behind the restrictions that shut down her salon. (The rules were put in place by Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed.)
