I really don't have a problem with her mask wearing. The woman has a pretty mask to match every outfit and clearly takes her mask wearing seriously. But this isn't Patty down the street, this is a lawmaker who lectures the public on following the rules of lockdown. I would expect her to be aware of the rules she's lecturing everyone else on. Not depending on people who are desperate to pay their bills to tell HER what the rules are.
And yes I know she didn't make these specific laws herself, but that's not an excuse for not being a good leader.

She didn’t make them They have nothing to do with what she is doing in DC in her role of Speaker of the House. She spends roughly half of her time in DC and these rules for reopening businesses are changing based on the spread of the virus. So why should she know them and not rely on what her stylist told her based on information he received from the owner of the salon? The owner of the salon should know what the criteria is for opening her salon. Right. Is that not her responsibility as owner of the business? Apparently she did know but chose to ignore them and do it her way. And gave the stylist wrong information. As far as Nancy should have know is, IMO, ridiculous. In the big picture, this was a minor little blip. It just wasn’t that big of deal not to believe what her stylist told her. A stylist to she has gone to for, from what I understand, years. |

She also has a full staff to get factual information if she can't be bothered to look it up herself. She should not be relying on someone going under & desperate to pay their bills to tell her what she of all people should already know. IMHO |

As you've already stated you are aware, San Fran is her district. If she can't be bothered to know/be apprised of the rules in her own freakin' district then, damn. It's no mystery why our govt is fucked up. |

Sorry ladies, all I’m seeing is a bunch of pettiness. We get so much of it from trump and company without it spreading to something as insufficient as this.
So we will agree to disagree about this. 🤷🏻♀️

I guess we will agree to disagree. 162 other people in this poll think Nancy was wrong on this one. Thanks for the discussion.

I voted other. I do think she was set up, I think the salon owner was out to get her. Should she have had her mask on when her hair was washed? Probably. Do I think she deserves to be crucified for not wearing it for maybe 10 minutes? No. How many times did the hydroxymoron and his sidekick refuse to wear them?

Do I think she should have kept her mask on the entire time?...yes
Do I think she should have known she had a target on her back?.....for sure
Do I think she is a hypocrite?...not really
If she has gone many other places and shown similar behavior, absolutely I would call her out to be a hypocrite.
I find it REAL, f$*^ing RICH, that all those on the right jumping to point their fingers at her and say she is a hypocrite when they don't wear masks themselves!!!!
SMDH!

They could have told her to keep her mask on as a friendly reminder instead of going after her after the fact. I’m in no way Pelosi’s biggest fan, but I do think this is a little mean-spirited. We’re all doing the best we can. I don’t like things like this.

We’re all doing the best we can. I don’t like things like this. The reporting was that she only had her mask off during the wash (and obvious the walk back to the chair) the stylist has come out and said that the owner told them one thing and then immediately called Fox News after getting the photo of her without one. |

If you don't want to wear one, I'm fine with that but don't be lecturing somebody else for not wearing one! |

If you don't want to wear one, I'm fine with that but don't be lecturing somebody else for not wearing one! I think you're misunderstanding the entire point of wearing a mask. Masks are not for your protection, they are for the protection of others. It's a public safety issue and selfish - your not wearing one could put someone else at risk. If you are not wearing one in a public space, you deserve to be lectured. Don't want to wear a mask, that's your choice, but don't go out in public and potentially spread the virus to others. As far as Nancy Pelosi not wearing one, she thought she was following the rules and was set up by the salon owner. It was a misunderstanding, the actual rules were different than what she was told. She made the mistake of trusting the information her staff was given. Yes, she should have verified the rules, worn a mask the entire time and probably should have apologized. However, I'm not worked up about her not wearing one, once for 10 minutes. No one is perfect and when she talks about masks, I don't think she's demanding perfection from others. She's criticized Trump for not wearing one, criticism that he deserves, he should be a role model for others and wearing masks. She criticized the Republicans for not wearing them on the White House lawn. Again, fair criticism for 1500 people not socially distanced. The differences between her situation and those seem pretty clear to me. I'm willing to overlook 1 mistake. Overall, she's done far more good by wearing a mask. Some of the ones she buys are from a small store in Virginia that donates one to Johns Hopkins Hospitals for every one sold. www.nytimes.com/2020/05/20/fashion/nancy-pelosi-face-masks.html |

I'm not sure I understand the hand wringing about masks and shampooing. This was just a non-issue when I had my hair done. My mask has elastic over the ears, it's just a completely non-issue.

I think the point is that the salon owner, who has been upset with NP prior to her visit to the salon, put her and the stylist in a no win situation by telling them the mask did not have to be worn at the shampooing stage, so that the salon owner could get a photo op of NP not wearing one—as evidenced by her running straight to Fox News almost as soon as the appointment was wrapped up, I would imagine if NP was told masks on all the time, she would have had it on. The entire “story” of this story should be that the salon owner PURPOSELY gave the stylist false information about masks and being allowed inside in order to get photos of NP to try to drag and disparage her. |

I recently had my hair cut. I wore a mask, except for the very end. My stylist asked if I was comfortable taking it off and offered to trim around my ears. If she had offered, I might have taken it off when she washed my hair. No, it’s not a big deal to wear it when your hair is getting washed or cut. The point is that NP was deliberately misled, she thought she was following the rules.

This was a total set-up by the salon owner. The outrage by trump fans over NP’s mask situation is mind-boggling given the amount of anti-mask bs that the right has spewed since COVID hit, with trump at the head of that particular parade. A wee bit of hypocrisy here....

I’m curious if the stylist encouraged her to take the mask off by saying something like “you don’t want to get it wet” or “many people take it off during washing”. Or, maybe she had a scarf or gaiter type mask on that would get wet? |
