Trump Asks About Pelosi ‘Does Anyone Want a Speaker of the House Who Can Be So Easily Set Up?’

We reported last night that a GoFundMe has been started for the owner of a San Francisco salon, Erica Kious, who told Tucker Carlson that she will be forced to leave the city after a mob of leftists descended upon her business in the form of “death threats” and negative business reviews after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she “fell for a setup.”

President Trump has now weighed in again on the situation, saying that “Pelosi said she was ‘set up’ by the beauty parlor owner when she improperly had the salon opened (and didn’t wear a MASK!).” He then asked, “Does anyone want a Speaker of the House who can be so easily SET UP?”

Crazy Nancy Pelosi said she was “set up” by the beauty parlor owner when she improperly had the salon opened (and didn’t wear a MASK!). Does anyone want a Speaker of the House who can be so easily SET UP?

Fox News contributor Brit Hume tweeted a scathing rebuke of the House Speaker, saying that, “The premise of Pelosi’s defense of using a closed hair salon is that she may be the Speaker of the House and a longtime San Francisco resident but it’s not her job to know the city’s Covid 19 rules.”

From Breitbart News:

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Erica Kious, the owner of the San Francisco hair salon that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visited, reacted to Pelosi’s claim that she was set up by stating that Pelosi or her staff made the appointment and wondered, “if she’s in there comfortably, without a mask, and feeling safe, then why are we shut down?”

Kious said Pelosi “had called a stylist in, or her assistant did, and made the appointment. So, the appointment was already booked. So, there was no way I could’ve set that up. And I’ve had a camera system in there for five years. I mean, I didn’t go in there and turn cameras on as soon as she walked in to set her up. So, that’s absolutely false.”

Kious reacted to Pelosi’s claim that she believed that one-on-one appointments were allowed by stating, “I see clients one-on-one. So, that would mean I would be open, right?”

She later added, “I just thought about my staff and people not being able to work and make money and provide for their families, and if she’s in there comfortably, without a mask, and feeling safe, then why are we shut down? Why am I not able to have clients come in?”
