Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Destroys Homes After $ 2,000 Stimulus Relief Failed

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Vandals have been haunting 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 does not approve the increase in the amount of money. individuals to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

Spray paint on the door of Senate Mitch McConnell’s door in Kentucky said Saturday: “WERES MY MONEY.” ‘MITCH KILLS THE ARM’ was scratched across a window. An atrocity against the Republican senator was painted under the mailbox.

At the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, someone spray-painted graffiti on New Year’s Day and left a pig’s head and fake blood, police said. According to a police statement, the vandalism was reported around 02:00 on Friday and a special investigation unit was trying to determine who had done it.

KGO-TV reports that graffiti found on the garage door of the Democratic leader’s house has the phrases “$ 2K”, “Rent canceled!” and ‘We want it all,’ which apparently refers to the failed attempts by Democratic lawmakers to increase coronavirus relief tests from $ 600 to $ 2,000.

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

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

“I spent my career for the first amendment and the defense of peaceful protest,” he said. “I appreciate every Kentuckian who has participated in the democratic process, whether they agree with me or not. It 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 are not too hurt by this radical rage.”

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

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

The government has started sending out the smaller payments to millions of Americans. The $ 600 payment goes to individuals with an income of up to $ 75,000. Congress approved the payment at the end of December.
