News of this comes just a few days after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s home was vandalized with a pig’s head, fake blood, and a message tagged on the garage demanding that rent be canceled.
Both cases of vandalism center around the $600 stimulus checks that were passed and are now being distributed. Nancy Pelosi called the $600 significant, while American citizens call it a slap in the face after having to deal with a pandemic that has left many people without jobs and steady income.
On Monday, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow for $2000 checks to be distributed, after Donald Trump called the $600 a disgrace and urged Congress to raise the amount to $2000. However, McConnell blocked the $2000 checks.
