The reaction to mayor Nancy Pelosi’s treatment of the coronavirus stimulus project may be reaching close to home – literally.
On Friday, photos appeared on social media and TMZ showing graffiti on a San Francisco garage door, reportedly at the home of the Democratic leader in Congress. The apparently spray-painted message said “$ 2K” with a crossed line.
“Cancel rental?” “We want everything!” Another line appeared to be “UBI!” referring to the concept of universal basic income.
A San Francisco Police Department spokesman told Fox News that officers responded to the reported vandalism at around 2 am Friday morning. “Unidentified suspects painted graffiti on the garage door and left a pig’s head on the sidewalk,” they said.
They said the scene was on block 2600 on Broadway, but did not confirm who owned the house or whether anyone was there at the time.
According to KRON, the MyNetworkTV affiliate station in San Francisco, the messages were covered up and the fake blood on the ground was removed.
It is not clear whether the police have any suspects, but the graffiti included two letters A with circles around them, the mark typically associated with anarchism.
The incident underscored ongoing tensions over coronavirus relief.
Congress continued into the new year without compromise, after months of stalled negotiations. Although President Trump and the Democrats insisted on $ 2,000 stimulus checks, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Dismissed them as “socialism for the rich”.
