Protesters have assembled at the home of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, stringing up blow-dryers and curlers from a tree while demanding salons reopen after the lawmaker was caught flouting Covid-19 rules for a hair appointment.

A crowd was seen outside Pelosi’s San Francisco home on Thursday, protesting after the Democrat was spotted getting her hair done at a salon shuttered under coronavirus restrictions earlier this week.

Videos shared on social media showed demonstrators – described by a local reporter as “angry salon customers” – hanging blow-dryers and hair curlers from a tree near Pelosi’s home, as well as a number of impromptu speeches delivered by protesters, who blasted the Speaker’s Monday salon visit as hypocritical and demanded she “get back to work.”

“I just want to say one thing to Nancy Pelosi: Get out of the salon and get back to work and pass a Covid relief bill in Washington,” one protester said through a megaphone, drawing cheers from the crowd. “Work with the Republicans, work with the Democrats, work with the Independents, we don’t care. Get the job done.”

Protesters also voiced outrage over continued business closures in San Francisco amid the Covid-19 crisis, one saying: “We cannot work, we want to work. We want our hair done, we want our nails done. We want to socialize, we want freedom!”

Pelosi’s salon appointment kicked off a rash of controversy this week, with critics pointing to the Speaker’s staunch support for lockdowns despite ignoring the rules herself. Pelosi has rejected the criticism and refused to apologize while insisting she was “set up” by the owner of the salon, claiming she was led to believe the appointment would not violate Covid-19 restrictions.

Earlier on Thursday, Pelosi’s hair stylist backed up the Speaker’s story, saying the owner of the salon indeed misled her, and that a “set up” was the goal all along. The business owner, Erica Kious, who rented space in her establishment to Pelosi’s stylist, says she was only informed of the appointment the night prior and was unable to stop it, denying the allegations of a frame-up.

Kious has since been forced to relocate her business after receiving “many death threats,” according to a GoFundMe set up for her benefit by Amy Tarkanian, the wife of former Nevada State Senator Danny Tarkanian.

191,114 Covid-19 deaths.  So let’s focus on what’s important.  A haircut.  And your Marion Barry racebaiting sucks John.  Go find a hole and bury yourself in it.

I clicked on the links and watched the videos.

The "crowd" of protestors numbers no more than about 12-15 people.

As you like to say, Joan, nothing to see here...

One of my favorite segments on Fox was when they filmed an empty sidewalk and described the ‘big’ protest that just happened there.

What I don't get is all this hubub about Nancy's haircut, but these same people have nothing to say about Trump saying nothing about Russia's paying bounties to kill American soldiers.  Methinks it's just another distraction so folks won't look behind the curtain.

A while back, there was a Salon owner that defied the Texas order to close her shop. She fought them and eventually was cited and taken to court. Released within a short time and vowed she would not stop working. Opened her shop and one of her first (banned) customers was Ted (Raphael) Cruz to set the example of "in your face". Local papers covered his haircut.

13,433 Covid-19 deaths in Texas.  Regrettably, Rafael was not one of them.

  Seems mostly Salon workers/stylists in the crowd, cute the decorated tree. Looks like DNC/Nancy moved her story off the "news" with the Atlantic Article, and the well coordinated associated 'random' stories, objecting to "loser" tag claims..

  Well done. Is impressive to see the quick response teams working.

Joan, do you honestly believe that? Do you really think Pelosi is so powerful that she can get mainstream media outlets to drop coverage of stories, or persuade them to alter the tenor of stories, in her and her party's favor?

CNN and The New York Times covered the story, and did so objectively, as did most other mainstream news outlets. The "problem" is that it's a one-off story. Pelosi didn't have to "move the story off the news" simply because it happened, it was covered, it was commented on, and there's little left to say.

[Lois]

It's just a sign of how desperate Joan really is.
