The house of the leader of the Republican majority in the United States Senate,

Mitch McConnell

, and that of the president of the House of Representatives,

Nancy Pelosi

, were attacked in the last hours, according to US media.

A pig's head and fake blood were found outside Pelosi's home in San Francisco, local media said Saturday.

The crossed-out "$ 2K" ($ 2,000) was also spray-painted on his garage door, followed by the phrases "Cancel the rents" and "We want it all."

Local police are in charge of the investigation, NBC News reported. The inscriptions "Where's My Money" and "Mitch Kills the Poor" were written above the front door and window of McConnell's home in Louisville, Kentucky. according to the American media.

McConnell called the graffiti a "radical tantrum

.

"

"Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society," he added.

These acts of vandalism follow an intense debate on a plan of economic aid for some 900,000 million dollars to face the devastating effects on jobs of the covid-19 pandemic, adopted by legislators and then ratified by President Donald Trump a late December after several days of resistance.

Republicans in Congress blocked a proposal by Democrats to more than triple the amount of checks intended for the most vulnerable Americans under that plan,

from $ 600 to $ 2,000

, an increase however supported by Trump.

"The Senate is not going to be intimidated into rushing out more loans, which will go into the hands of rich friends of the Democrats who don't need that help," Mitch McConnell had told reporters Wednesday.
