Houses were marked with graffiti during the New Year holiday, as a bill that would increase the amount of money included in coronavirus stimulus checks was not passed by Congress on Friday.

On Friday, Pelosi’s San Francisco home was the target of a spray painted message that read: “$ 2K,” “Cancel the rent!” and “We want everything!” on the garage door of his house, reported the local affiliate of NBC WLEX.

The Hill contacted Pelosi’s office, but did not receive an immediate response.

On Saturday, McConnell’s home in Louisville, Ky., Was marked with graffiti on his front door that said, “Where’s my money” and additional paint sprayed on a window.

House Democrats passed a bill late last year that would increase stimulus checks from $ 600 to $ 2,000.

However, the bill was blocked for the fourth consecutive day in the Senate on Friday, closing the door on an already unlikely chance that lawmakers will be able to make a bill.

The 116th Congress ends on Sunday morning.

The bill received support from several Republicans in the House at the time it was approved, and some Republicans in the Senate indicated their support for the measure.

However, other Republicans are opposed to the bill, citing budget deficits.

McConnell had suggested that the $ 2,000 checks could be linked to efforts to repeal Section 230 and form a committee to examine voter allegations of fraud and irregularities in the November elections.

A spokesman for McConnell’s office released a statement to The Hill on Saturday condemning the vandalism against the home of the majority leader in Kentucky.

“I spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protests,” said McConnell in the prepared statement. “I thank all the people of Kentucky who have engaged 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, ”added the senator.

“My wife and I were never intimidated by this toxic manual. We just hope that our neighbors in Louisville are not too bothered by this radical tantrum,” he continued.

Authorities in both cities continue to investigate graffiti occurrences to determine possible suspects, WLEX said.

It is not immediately clear whether security cameras monitored McConnell’s home, although the agency noted that several surveillance cameras monitor Pelosi’s home and the neighborhood.
