Nancy Pelosi, who scolds President Donald Trump for not wearing a mask, has been pictured without a face covering at a salon in San Francisco. Nancy, who is said to be the most powerful elected US Democrat, her footage showed the House of Representatives speaker inside the premises, breaking the city’s coronavirus-prevention rules.
San Francisco’s pandemic orders do not allow hair salons to open indoors. Thousands of California businesses have shut permanently amid virus curbs. Pelosi who is always seen wearing mask in public, often admonishes Republicans to “listen to the science” on the pandemic.
But the Fox News footage showed her walking with a face mask around her neck, rather than over her mouth, through eSalon. A stylist, who was wearing a mask, was seen following her in the video.
California Democrat’s spokesman said she did not realise she was breaking her home city’s rules on virus prevention. “This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business,” spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.
Mrs Pelosi has herself previously cited US Centers for Disease Control guidelines recommending that Americans wear face masks in public, especially when physical distancing measures are difficult.
She told the network that Trump had “slapped science right in the face” last week by allowing an audience of mainly mask-less invitees on the White House lawn to watch his speech to the Republican convention.
The salon owner, Erica Kious, said she rents chairs to a stylist, who notified her that Pelosi’s assistant had called, saying her boss wanted to come in for a wash and blow dry.
