Right on cue: White-knighting WaPo puts shamelessly predictable spin on Nancy Pelosi's maskless indoor blow-out

Nancy Pelosi exempted herself from the rules yesterday and got her hair done  — sans mask, of course — in a San Francisco salon.

EXCLUSIVE: @SpeakerPelosi used shuttered San Fran hair salon for blow-out, owner calls it 'slap in the face'

In security footage obtained by Fox News, #Pelosi is seen walking through the salon Monday w/ wet hair &without a face mask over her mouth or nosehttps://t.co/pPwoR3XT3X

But if you think that’s the story, let the Washington Post disabuse you of that notion right now:

GOP slams Nancy Pelosi for her indoor haircut in San Francisco, where that’s still banned https://t.co/kv4plr6b4J

We knew it was coming. Still, we can’t help but be a little dumbstruck.

"Republicans pounce on hypocritical 33 year congress woman for violating rules of her own district." https://t.co/0MS2QPqnR5

It’s so predictable, and yet so shamelessly hacky.

"Slams"? I think the word you want is "pounces". Or at the very least "seizes". https://t.co/AdLruzZ7fy

Seizing and pouncing. https://t.co/qOnXpLvWur

When a Republican screws up, that's the story. When a Democrat screws up, the Republicans' reaction is the story. https://t.co/iPKzOf0gFf

We know that the Washington Post is ostensibly a journalistic outlet, but they don’t seem to be clear on how to journalism.

"Nancy Pelosi gets indoor haircut in San Francisco, where that’s still banned"

There, fixed that for you.

Was that so difficult, WaPo?
