WH Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany starts press briefing by playing the Nancy Pelosi's salon video on loop.
McEnany kicked off Thursday's White House briefing by playing a video obtained by Fox News showing a maskless Pelosi getting her hair done at a San Francisco salon that was supposed to be closed under local rules.
"We will be playing the video on a loop for all of you to see during the duration of this introduction," McEnany said. "Apparently, the rules do not apply to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She wants small businesses to stay shut down but only reopen for her convenience."
She then accused Pelosi of holding up a $1.3 trillion coronavirus relief bill proposed by Republicans that includes money that "would support businesses like this hair salon."
Pelosi claimed that she was "set up" by the salon owner and said she deserves an apology even though her visit violated local guidelines just days before salons were allowed to accept clients outdoors.
"Nancy Pelosi is demanding an apology from a single mother and small business owner who has received threats since Nancy Pelosi's comments against her salon," McEnany said. "Nancy Pelosi, you ought to apologize to the American people, or better yet, come back to Washington and get to work for hardworking Americans like this salon owner who you maligned and demanded an apology from."
