“My immediate reaction was the hypocrisy of it all,” Shelley said. “[There’re] a lot of elite politicians that think that it’s okay to do whatever they want and us regular people to do as we’re told.”

She continued, “it’s not right.”

Pelosi responded to the video footage by saying it was a “set-up” and demanded an apology from the salon owner.

“Of course, we all know that she’s lying,” Luther said, “and if she thinks that we’re stupid enough to think that she’s not lying — she’s got bigger problems than I thought.”

Luther also discussed why she decided to open her salon during the COVID-19 lockdown, her Texas State Senate bid and more.
