The home of Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House of Representatives Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi have been vandalized, US media reported.

A pig's head and fake blood were found outside Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home on January 2, according to local media on Saturday.

The crossed out “$ 2K” (2,000 dollars) inscription was also spray painted on the door of his garage, followed by the phrases “Cancel the rent!

And "We want it all".

The inscriptions "Where's my money" and "Mitch kill the poor" were written on the front door and a window of Mitch McConnell's house in Louisville, Kentucky, according to US media.

Police said the incident took place around 5 a.m., local news channel WAS11 said, but it was not clear whether anyone was in the house at that time.

Mitch McConnell called the graffiti a "radical temper tantrum."

“There is no place in our society for vandalism and the politics of fear,” he added.

"The Senate will not be intimidated"

These acts of vandalism come after an intense debate on the US stimulus plan of some 900 billion dollars to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, adopted by parliamentarians and then ratified by President Donald Trump at the end of December after several days of resistance .

Republicans in Congress have blocked a Democrats' proposal to more than triple the amount of checks to be sent to the most vulnerable Americans under this new stimulus package, to $ 2,000 per adult instead of $ 600, a sustained increase by Donald Trump.

"The Senate is not going to be intimidated into rushing out more borrowed funds, which will go into the hands of wealthy friends of the Democrats who do not need this help," Mitch McConnell told reporters on Wednesday.

Mitch McConnell also called it “socialism for the rich”, since the check will also go “to households that have not lost jobs or income”.
