Pelosi and McConnell’s homes have been destroyed, why?

The house of Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were engraved this weekend. These attacks have a very clear political motivation: government aid controls.

The two most powerful members of the US Congress were destroyed this weekend.

What happened?

• The houses of Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (Democrat) were engraved between Friday and Saturday.

Why?

• Because of the graffiti found in the houses, these attacks have a very clear political motivation: the aid controls that the government will provide as part of the economic aid package for the crisis unleashed by the pandemic.
• At McConnell’s Kentucky home, graffiti was found on the front door with the legend “Weres my money (sic),” which translates to “Where’s my money?”
• This message would be in response to McConnell’s refusal to vote on an increase in the value of incentive controls in the Senate. The government-approved aid controls are currently at $ 600, but House and Senate Democrats want to raise them to $ 2,000.
• As leader of this house, McConnell must pass the vote before the senate decides on the raise. The congressman, however, refuses, as he, like many Republicans, considers these controls to be a “socialist” measure that will benefit the wealthy. In reality it is not so.

Are checks for the rich?

• As Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont explains, “The vast majority of these funds are going to the middle class, the working class, low-income people who are in financial trouble amid the pandemic.

• The population who has lost their job and has to pay debts, rent, receipts for health and education costs need this money. But McConnell, one of the richest senators in Congress, fears it could have implications for the national budget.

On the other hand, Pelosi’s San Francisco home was also destroyed. In addition to graffiti demanding “cancel the rent payment” and “US $ 2,000 is not enough,” a pig’s head and fake blood were found outside the home. Pelosi’s office has not answered questions about the attack.

“There is understandable frustration. I think this kind of protest is an example of that, but I would try to warn people to see the leaders as a reflection of us. They are people, people, ”Jason McDaniel, an associate professor of political science in San Francisco, told NBC. As he points out, “it’s a little useless (this attack) because Pelosi has mobilized her power and approved the $ 2000 checks, and she has no power over Mitch McConnell (for him to approve them).”
