Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vandalized homes after failing the $ 2,000 stimulus

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Vandals attacked U.S. House and Senate leaders over the holiday weekend, destroying their homes with graffiti and, in one case, a pig’s head, as Congress did not approve an increase of the amount of money sent to people to help deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

On Saturday, at the door of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, Kentucky, it was called, “WERES MY DINEY.” “MITCH KILLS THE POOR” was written on a window. Under the mailbox a desecration was painted addressed to the Republican senator.

At the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, someone spray-painted and left a pig’s head and fake blood on New Year’s Day, police said. The vandalism was reported around 2 a.m. Friday, according to a police statement, and a special investigation unit is trying to determine who did it.

KGO-TV reported that the graffiti found on the garage door of the Democratic leader’s home included the phrases “$ 2,000,” “Cancel Rent.” and “We Want It All,” apparently referring to the failed efforts of Democratic lawmakers to increase coronavirus relief controls from $ 600 to $ 2,000.

The news station says security cameras surround the three-story brick house in the Pacific Heights neighborhood.

McConnell on Saturday issued a statement condemning vandalism at his home in Louisville.

“I have spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and advocating a peaceful protest,” he stated. “I thank all the Kentuckians who have been involved in the democratic process, whether they agree with me or not. This is different. Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society.”

McConnell said he and his wife are not intimidated by vandalism. “We just hope our Louisville neighbors aren’t too bothered by this radical rage.”

Louisville police are investigating the incident at McConnell’s home, which occurred around 5 a.m. Saturday. There are currently no suspects, police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said in an email.

On New Year’s Day, Senate Republicans refused to allow debate on a bill to increase the amount of relief from COVID-19. The increase, backed by President Donald Trump, passed the Democratic-led House, but was blocked by McConnell.

The government has begun sending smaller payments to millions of Americans. The $ 600 payment will go to people with incomes of up to $ 75,000. Congress approved the payment in late December.
