AN FRANCISCO (KTVU) - Nancy Pelosi's stylist is now weighing in on the controversy surrounding the Speaker of the House's visit to a San Francisco hair salon on Monday. In a lengthy statement, an attorney representing Jonathan DeNardo, claims: "The fact that Ms. Kious (the owner) 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 futhering a set-up of Speaker Pelosi for her own vian aspirations."
Security footage, reported on FOX News, showed Pelosi with wet hair and with a mask pulled down to her neck, appearing to skirt the city's COVID-19 restrictions....
DeNardo's attorney claims the salon has been operating illegally during the stay-at-home orders, as far bask as April 2020. The lawyer claims to have video and photographs of Kious allegedly styling client's hair, ignoring social distancing guidelines and not wearing protective equipment. Also writing, "Ms. Kious has been actively encouraging and almost forcing stylists who operate at eSalon to violate such orders for her own financial beneift in the form of receiving lease payments."
Speaker Pelosi on Wednesday addressed the controversy surrounding the video of her recent visit to a San Francisco salon.
"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 that we're able to accommodate people one person at a time and that we could set up that time, I trusted that," said Pelosi at an event focused on the pandemic's impact on education.

(3,505 posts)Im surprised she doesnt have a private stylist. With the kind of money she has, she should. And why even address it other than saying I made an appointment, they invited me in, there was no one else there, protocols were followed.? This set up thing just gives the enemy easy pickings.
The whole thing is stupid.

Bay Area opened Salons 2 days ago but not this area that she was in, they're pick nicking on the fact that this smaller area salon restrictions were tighter.
