Protesters Hang Blow Dryers on Tree Outside Nancy Pelosi’s Home

Angry San Francisco salon customers protested outside Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home Thursday by hanging blow driers and curlers from nearby trees.

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi was busted this week violating state and local coronavirus lockdown restrictions in San Francisco, her home city, to get her hair done – and she wasn’t wearing a mask. She forced a local salon to open up just for her, and then when caught, claimed she was “set-up” by the salon owner.

The salon owner steadfastly denies it was a set-up.

The City of San Francisco requires residents to stay 6 feet apart and wear a mask to cover the mouth and nose, at all businesses, at work, in hallways, elevators and in parking lots, and on public transportation. The city even requires a mask while passing someone walking or running outside.

Breitbart reports:

“Another video shows the women forming a hand-holding circle around the tree with hair appliances. Next, the women can be seen draping an American flag over a part of the tree, which they reportedly named the ‘Freedom Tree.’”

Salon owner Erica Kious who’s a single mother of two, is now being forced to shut down and relocate her business and family, and is receiving threats after speaking out about Pelosi’s visit to her salon. Kious made an appearance on Fox’s Tucker Carlson Show and asked if Nancy Pelosi can get her hair done and not wear a mask, why is the city and state still in lockdown?

Pelosi, who is 81, is in the age group most at risk for getting severely ill from COVID-19, but obviously wasn’t worried about contracting the virus by being in the salon sans mask.

Notably, Pelosi has steadfastly refused to add any additional COVID relief funding to help small businesses reopen, but forced the San Francisco salon to reopen so she could get her hair washed, blown dry, and styled.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem invited Erica Kious to her state known as the “Under God the People Rule” state, to run her salon:

“My heart goes out to Erika. As a former female small business owner, I can only imagine how crushing these last few months have been. And now THIS!? Erika, if you want to run your salon in a state that respects Freedom and won’t shut you down, then South Dakota is open for you.”
