在旧金山举行的关于冠状病毒立法的新闻发布会上,佩洛西声称她被附近的沙龙误导了。监控录像显示,她一度脖子上戴着面具,而不是戴在脸上。

她后来补充道:“我认为这家沙龙应该为陷害我向我道歉。”

2020年9月2日,星期三,在旧金山,众议院议长南希·佩洛西在教会教育中心小学的新闻发布会上谈到她去发廊的事时,把头发向后拉了拉。
美国广播公司新闻已经联系了沙龙请其置评。
当被问及她是如何被陷害的时,佩洛西怒不可遏,反过来问记者,“关于人们是如何死去的,你有什么问题吗?”
“关于沙龙对我说‘请进’的动机,还有更多我不想谈的...这显然是个圈套。她说:“我为自己被陷害负责。”“我有责任相信我去过多年的社区沙龙的话。”
早些时候,佩洛西的办公室援引沙龙给她的指导,否认她违反了他们的规定,但总统称佩洛西在现在广为流传的视频片段中下巴下面戴着面具。
特朗普在周三早上的一条推文中表示:“疯狂的南希·佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)因为开设了一家美容院,而其他所有美容院都关门了,还因为她没有戴口罩——尽管她一直在对其他人说教。”
总统暗示这一事件会伤害众议院的民主党人,他补充说:“我们几乎肯定会夺回众议院,让南希滚蛋!”
安全地录像福克斯新闻报道称,周一下午,人们看到佩洛西带着湿漉漉的头发,脖子上戴着口罩,而不是捂着嘴和鼻子,穿过旧金山的埃索伦大街。有人看到她的造型师戴着黑色口罩跟在她后面。从视频中还不清楚在接下来的约会中她脸上是否戴着面具。
“我刚洗了头发。我洗头的时候不戴口罩。你洗头的时候戴口罩吗?周三,当被问及此事时,佩洛西说:“我总是带着口罩。”“那张照片是我刚从碗里出来的时候。”
佩洛西的发言人德鲁·哈米尔说,周二晚上,这位发言人按照发型师的要求做了介绍,并被告知该市允许沙龙一次只接待一名顾客。
“发言人始终戴着口罩,遵守当地的COVID要求。这家公司让议长在周一前来,并告诉她该市允许他们一次只能有一个客户。议长遵守了这个机构向她提出的规则。”

2020年9月2日,旧金山,众议院议长南希·佩洛西在教会教育中心小学举行的儿童行动日活动中问候一位客人。
但在周二晚上,发廊的主人在接受福克斯新闻的电话采访时说,这种室内的、不加掩饰的访问违反了新冠肺炎全市禁止在发廊提供室内服务和吹干服务的规定。
这家美容院的老板埃里卡·基乌斯说:“你知道,她进去的时候觉得自己可以去把自己的事情做完,而别人却不能进去,这是对她的一种侮辱,而我却不能工作。”讲述他们在电话采访中。
基奥斯说,佩洛西的造型师在她的沙龙里租了一把椅子,但独立经营。目前还不清楚沙龙是否允许其他造型师在关门期间提供私人服务。
A声明旧金山市长办公室周五发布公告称,自3月份以来一直关闭的发廊的户外服务可能会在佩洛西被任命后的第二天(周二)恢复,但补充称“室内服务可能不提供”,而且必须戴口罩。
“户外个人服务包括理发、理发、按摩和美甲服务。”只有那些在任何时候都可以屏蔽客户和提供商的服务才允许恢复。”
新的指导该法案于9月1日生效,该法案还规定,洗发是不允许的,发型师不能同时看到多个顾客。

2020年8月27日,国会大厦,众议院议长南希·佩洛西在新闻发布会上发言。
白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯也在周三上午发表讲话,称佩洛西的访问是华盛顿虚伪的一个例子。
“这是典型的华盛顿特区,他们上了全国电视。他们向美国人民鼓吹这应该是一种方式,然而,私下里,当摄像机停止转动时,在这种情况下,我猜摄像机在转动,这显示了一个非常不同的故事,”梅多斯讲述福克斯新闻。“不管是在旧金山与她一起去沙龙,还是在一个单独的谈判室,都是一样的。”
周二晚上,参议院共和党人运营的推特账户似乎也引用了基奥斯的话叫做佩洛西的到访给了被迫关闭的企业主“一记耳光”,以减缓新冠肺炎的蔓延。
“议长佩洛西推动了一些政策,这些政策将使我们的经济保持关闭,使我们的小企业关闭。但是为了她自己?参议院共和党人在推特上写道:“她想什么时候去沙龙就什么时候去。”
尽管共和党人正在抨击议长,但在宣布疾病控制和预防中心的指导方针后,总统三个月来一直拒绝戴口罩。上周在新罕布什尔州的一次集会上,他的支持者向一名要求人群戴口罩的播音员发出嘘声。
佩洛西的办公室坚称,她遵循了新冠肺炎当地的所有要求,之后佩洛西自己在周三下午表示,该活动是“一个设置。”
Pelosi calls private hair salon visit in San Francisco, against local regulations, 'clearly a setup'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called her private visit to a San Francisco hair salon earlier this week, in which she received styling indoors despite city-widerestrictionson indoor styling, "clearly a setup," following criticism from PresidentDonald Trumpand Republicans.
In a press conference in San Francisco on coronavirus legislation, Pelosi claimed she was misled by the neighborhood salon. Security footage showed her at one point wearing a mask around her neck instead of over her face.
"I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I've been to, over the years, many times, and that when they said what we're able to accommodate people one person at a time, and that we can set up that time, I trusted that. As it turns out, that was the setup." Pelosi told reporters. "So, I take responsibility for falling for a setup. And that's all I'm going to say on that."
"I think that this salon owes me an apology, for setting me up," she added later.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pulls back her hair while speaking about her visit to a hair salon during a news conference at the Mission Education Center Elementary School Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2020, in San Francisco.
ABC News has reached out to the salon for comment.
Asked how she was set up, Pelosi bristled, asking reporters in turn, "Do you have any questions about how people are dying?"
"There's more to this that I'm not going into as to the motivation of a salon to say to me, 'Yes come in' ... it was clearly a set up. I take responsibility for falling for a setup," she said. "I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to for years."
Earlier, Pelosi's office, citing guidance provided to her from the salon, denied she broke their rules, but the president called Pelosi out for having a mask under her chin in the now widely-circulated video footage.
"Crazy Nancy Pelosi is being decimated for having a beauty parlor opened, when all others are closed, and for not wearing a Mask - despite constantly lecturing everyone else," Trump said in a tweet Wednesday morning.
Suggesting the event will harm Democrats in the House, the president added, "We will almost certainly take back the House, and send Nancy packing!"
In securityvideoFox News said it obtained, Pelosi is seen walking through the eSalon in San Francisco on Monday afternoon with wet hair and with a mask at her neck instead of over her mouth and nose. Her stylist is seen following her wearing a black face mask. It was unclear from the video whether she had the mask on her face during the rest of the appointment.
"I just had my hair washed. I don't wear a mask when I'm washing my hair. Do you wear a mask when you're washing your hair? I always wear a mask," Pelosi said Wednesday when asked. "And that picture is when I just came out of the bowl."
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said Tuesday night the speaker followed requirements provided by her stylist and was told the city allowed the salon to have one customer in the business at a time.
"The Speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements. 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. The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment," he said in a statement.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi greets a guest during a Day of Action For the Children event at Mission Education Center Elementary School on Sept. 02, 2020, in San Francisco.
But on Tuesday night, the salon's owner told Fox News in a phone interview that the indoor, unmasked visit violated citywide COVID-19 restrictions prohibiting indoor services and blow-drying services at hair salons.
"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," Fox News said the the salon's owner Erica Kious,toldthem in a phone interview.
Kious said that Pelosi's stylist rents a chair in her salon but operates independently. It's unclear if the salon allowed other stylists to conduct private services during the shutdown.
Astatementfrom the San Francisco mayor's office posted Friday states that outdoor services at hair salons -- which have been closed since March -- could resume Tuesday -- a day after Pelosi's appointment -- but added that "services may not be provided indoors" and masks must be worn.
"Outdoor personal services that can operate include haircuts, barber services, massages and nail services. Only those services where both clients and providers can be masked at all times are allowed to resume," it reads.
The newguidancewhich took effect September 1 also states shampooing is not allowed and that stylists must not see multiple customers at once.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Aug. 27, 2020.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also weighed in Wednesday morning, calling Pelosi's visit an example of Washington hypocrisy.
"This is typical Washington, D.C. They get on national TV. They preach to the American people that it should be one way and, yet, in private, when the cameras are not rolling and in this case I guess the cameras were rolling, it shows a very different story," MeadowstoldFox News. "It's the same thing whether it's in San Francisco with her going into a salon or in the privacy of a negotiating room."
On Tuesday evening, a Twitter account operated by Senate Republicans appeared to quote Kious, alsocalledPelosi's visit a "slap in the face" to business owners forced to close to slow the spread of COVID-19.
"Speaker Pelosi has pushed policies that would keep our economy closed and our small businesses shut down. But for herself? A salon visit whenever she pleases," the Senate Republicans account tweeted, adding: "A 'slap in the face' indeed."
Although Republicans are bashing the speaker, the president resisted wearing a mask for three months after announcing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and his supporters at a rally last week in New Hampshire booed an announcer who asked the crowd to put on facial coverings.
Pelosi's office maintained she followed all local COVID-19 requirements before Pelosi herself said Wednesday afternoon that the event was "a setup."
