Salongate Took Another Turn: Pelosi’s Stylist Just Chimed In; Pelosi Claims She Was ‘Set up’ for Violating COVID Orders
By The Federalist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded an apology from her “neighborhood salon” on Wednesday after claiming she was “set up” during a visit to get her hair done despite COVID-19 lockdown mandates ordering salons closed.
“I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to…many times…It was a setup, and I take responsibility for falling for a setup,” Pelosi said.
“I think that this salon owes me an apology, for setting me up,” she added.

A video released on Tuesday by Fox News shows Pelosi wandering back to her salon chair with wet hair without a mask. Despite San Francisco regulations that ban salons from reopening until Sept. 1, and even then only for outdoor appointments, Pelosi booked an indoor appointment.
Despite her claims on Wednesday that this was an intentional effort to embarrass her, Pelosi’s team argued earlier on Tuesday that the salon incident was instead a misunderstanding. (Read more from “Pelosi Claims She Was ‘Set up’ for Violating COVID Orders” HERE)

Salongate Took Another Turn: Pelosi’s Stylist Just Chimed In
By Townhall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hit the ultimate hypocrisy level when she walked into a salon on Monday to get a wash and blowout. She wasn’t wearing a mask and salons in San Francisco have been closed due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Instead of admitting that she’s a hypocrite and believes the rules are for everyone else but her, she claimed the whole thing was a “setup.”
The salon’s owner, Erica Kious, was upset with the speaker.
“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” Kious told Fox News.
Now, the stylist who did Pelosi’s hair – and rents a chair in Kious’ salon – is speaking out about the situation through his lawyer. The stylist, Jonathan DeNardo, claimed to have received prior permission from Kious before Pelosi’s appointment.
“Mr. DeNardo received advance approval from Ms. Kious the day prior to the appointment during a telephone discussion on August 29, 2020 at 9:26 pm, wherein Mr. DeNardo advised Ms. Kious that he would not proceed with Speaker Pelosi’s appointment without Ms. Kious’ authorization,” a letter from DeNardo’s attorney, Matthew Soleimanpour stated.
