Pelosi's stylist disputes salon owner's claims it was not a 'setup'

[RandySF]

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. The salon owner donated to WinRed

a couple months ago and is most likely a Trump supporter. Also the news organization she contacted after Pelosi’s appointment was FoxNews.

4. This is such a stupid thing to be embroiled in.

I’m surprised she doesn’t 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.

8. FAUX News narrative is there's no serious pandemic cause"...look, Pelosi isn't sticking to the rules

..." which for that shop ... is not in the county that opened up Salons and should NOT have been taking customers.

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.

5. Let it stand at Madam Speakers statement and ignore it. If

they continue to press it they need to demand the "security video" for the last 5 months to see if the owner has been encouraging this as the stylist said. Come on Fox news get on it.

6. It's trying to make something out of nothing...the repub way. We need to start ingonring it.

They want us to ignore thee egregious behavior of Deadbeat Donnie with this nothing burger. Don't fall for it.

7. I take responsibility...

Three words you'll never hear from trump.

Bravo Madam Speaker!!!
