President Trump pointed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done in a San Francisco salon despite the city barring indoor personal care services to predict that Republicans could win back the House.

“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,” the president wrote on Twitter. “We will almost certainly take back the House, and send Nancy packing!”

The California Democrat was caught on video obtained by Fox News showing her wearing a black smock with slicked-back hair – but no mask – in a beauty salon on Monday afternoon.

Trump suggested that the owner of the salon must “really dislike Crazy Nancy Pelosi” for releasing the video.

“She probably treats him like she treats everyone else … And she strongly supported a Kennedy who just lost in, of all places, Massachusetts!,” Trump said in another post.

He was referring to Rep. Joe Kennedy III’s double-digit primary loss to Sen. Ed Market on Tuesday.

Pelosi backed Kennedy in the contest.

Earlier Wednesday, Trump ripped Kennedy, who became the first in his family to lose an election in Massachusetts.

“See, even a Kennedy isn’t safe in the new Radical Left Democrat Party,” he said.

The owner of the beauty parlor, which like other barbershops and salons in San Francisco, has been closed since March for indoor service, said Pelosi’s visit was a “slap in the face.”

“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,” Erica Kious said. “We’re supposed to look up to this woman, right? It is just disturbing.”

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said the speaker followed the rules.

“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, adding that she always adheres to COVID safety regulations.
