Senate Leader Mitch McConnell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Destroyed Homes After $ 2K Stimulus Aid Fails

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Vandals lashed out at US House and Senate leaders over the holiday weekend, destroying their homes with graffiti and, in one case, a pig’s head, because Congress did not approve an increase in the amount of money given to individuals. help deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

On Saturday, spray paint on the door of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky: “WERES MY MONEY.” “MITCH KILLS THE POOR” was scrawled on a window. A blasphemy against the Republican senator was painted under the letterbox.

At House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home, someone sprayed graffiti and left a pig’s head and fake blood on New Year’s Day, police said. The vandalism was reported around 2 a.m. on Friday, a police statement said, and a special investigation unit is trying to find out who did it.

KGO-TV reported that the graffiti found on the garage door of the Democratic leader’s house, the words “$ 2K,” “Cancel rent!” and “We want it all,” referring to democratic lawmakers’ failed attempts to increase coronavirus checks from $ 600 to $ 2000.

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

McConnell released a statement on Saturday condemning the vandalism in his Louisville home.

“I have spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest,” he said. “I appreciate every Kentuckian who has 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 the vandalism. “We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren’t too bothered by this radical tantrum.”

Louisville police are investigating the incident at McConnell’s home, which occurred around 5:00 a.m. Saturday. There are currently no suspects, police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said in an email.

On New Year’s Day, Senate Republicans declined to debate a bill to increase the amount of COVID-19 aid. The rise, backed by President Donald Trump, passed the Democrat-led House but was blocked by McConnell.

The government has started sending the smaller payments to millions of Americans. The payment of $ 600 will go to individuals with an income of up to $ 75,000. Congress approved the payment in late December.
