The following article, Protesters Show Up Outside Home of Nancy Pelosi In Light Of Salon Visit; String Up Hair Curlers, was first published on Flag And Cross.
More than a dozen protesters showed up outside the San Francisco home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, after video of her controversial visit to a hair salon during the coronavirus lockdown was reported on in the news last week.
The rally was comprised of “angry salon customers” who wore curlers in their hair. Other individuals involved in the protest strung curlers and blow dryers from a tree outside Pelosi’s home to express their frustration with the Speaker’s “elitist” attitude.
via Fox News:
“What she has done is slap the face of not just a salon owner but every woman every man every person who’s unemployed in the state of California who has lost their jobs and lost their livelihoods many of whom are my friends,” one protester said, San Francisco’s KRON-TV reported.
Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified that they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only.

Mayor London Breed was asked about her thoughts on the demonstration that took place outside of Pelosi’s home, and as you might expect, stated it’s time to “move on.”
What else would she say? They don’t want the obvious hypocrisy and elitist attitude of their own kind to be revealed to the country because then they lose support, and that’s not something they can afford with the White House on the line.
“I get that they have these feelings, they are voicing their feelings, but we are doing the very best we can and I know that’s not good enough for them, I understand,” Breed told reporters. “I get it, but at the end of the day, it is really time for us to move on.”
What it’s really time for is Pelosi to issue an apology.
