Gutfeld on Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the hair salon
Pelosi gets hair done at closed salon without a mask, after criticizing Trump for failing to take coronavirus precautions
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Remember all those righteous types going after President Trump for not wearing a mask? But he's a role model, they scream! He's killing people!
Of course, away from the cameras, they were doing something else. That's the difference between Trump and politicians. With Trump, what you see is what you get. The others? Well, they're politicians.
Like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She was caught at a hair salon in San Francisco Monday, despite laws keeping hair salons closed to the public there.

This is the same Nancy who said recently: “The White House, by bringing all those people there, no masks, no distancing, and the rest. He [Trump] slapped science right in the face. And what a bad example that was.”
What a bad example! She should know.

So what’s the lesson here? Why do many people seek political power to begin with? It isn't to increase your quality of life. It’s to increase theirs, by allowing them immunity from the laws they enforce.
Being a politician means having that special pass that gets you in front of every Disney ride. It means the best seat in the house, the ability to bump anyone off a flight, to be able to run red lights to get to that gym across town — environment be damned. If you talk the talk, there’s no need to walk the walk.

So, is Trump in this for the money or the perks? He's got that already. So what’s he in it for? Did the media ever ask that? No. They were too busy trying to score free tickets to “Hamilton.”
