The Kentucky home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was vandalized just days after he refused to allow the upper chamber to vote on boosting stimulus checks to $2,000.
‘WERES MY MONEY’ was spray painted on the front door to McConnell’s home in the Highlands section of Louisville on Saturday.
On the window adjacent to the front porch, graffiti is seen which says: ‘MITCH KILLS THE POOR.’
The vandalism was first reported by WDRB-TV.
A spokesperson for Louisville Metro Police Department told DailyMail.com that the incident happened at around 5:00am on Saturday.
Police said there was minor damage of graffiti on a window and a door. So far, no suspects have been identified and investigators continue to pursue leads.
The spray painted message was found more than 24 hours after vandals struck the $5million San Francisco home of the second most powerful member of Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

McConnell on Saturday released a statement to the Louisville Courier Journal which read: ‘Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society. My wife and I have never been intimidated by this toxic playbook. We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren’t too inconvenienced by this radical tantrum’
Pelosi’s home was vandalized in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day with a pig’s head surrounded in a pool of red paint, as well as a spray-painted message appearing to allude to the failed $2,000 stimulus checks.
Photos of the disturbing scene shared on social media by conservative filmmaker Maggie VandenBerghe on Friday showed the House Speaker’s white garage door defaced with black graffiti text reading: ‘$2k Cancel RENT! We want everything!’
McConnell on Saturday released a statement to the Louisville Courier Journal which read: ‘I’ve spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest.
‘I appreciate every Kentuckian who has engaged in the democratic process whether they agree with me or not.
‘This is different.’
He continued: ‘Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society.
‘My wife and I have never been intimidated by this toxic playbook.
‘We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren’t too inconvenienced by this radical tantrum.’
According to TMZ, San Francisco Police had been called to the home on reports of vandalism at the property in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Officers arrived around 3am and documented the incident in a report, but it is unclear if there are any suspects. DailyMail.com has reached out to the San Francisco Police Department for comment.
VandenBerghe, a self-proclaimed patriot and independent journalist that has been featured on conservative news outlets in the past, accused police in her post of trying to cover up the incident after the city reportedly called in the vandalism.

Police sources told the outlet that cops were called out to reports of vandalism at the House Speaker’s property in the early hours of New Year’s Day. Her home as it normally looks above
‘City called to clean up at 3am & police attempting to stop photos of scene. Media SILENT,’ she tweeted.
The San Francisco mansion is located in the city’s swanky Pacific Heights neighborhood and counts as one of Pelosi’s several residences in California.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house has an estimated worth of $5.4million, according to property records.
The home was also once the site of a small protest in September, when Pelosi came under fire for getting her hair styled at a local salon that had been closed under COVID-19 restrictions.
The Speaker of the House is yet to comment on the incident as of Friday evening.
Pelosi has been calling for the second round of stimulus checks to be increased from $600 to $2,000 – an amount also proposed by Donald Trump.
But the efforts have so far fallen short with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday blocking the Democrats’ standalone bill to send the checks to Americans.
McConnell told Pelosi the Senate won’t be ‘bullied’ into passing it, dashing hopes of the higher checks being sent out to Americans.
San Francisco officers arrived on the scene around 3 a.m. and a police report was taken, TMZ said. Pelosi is seen above in Washington, DC, on Wednesday
Pelosi had urged the Republican to allow the upper chamber to vote on the bill after it passed in the House through a bipartisan vote.
‘The Democrats and Republicans in the House have passed that legislation. Who is holding up that distribution to the American people? Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans,’ she said Wednesday.
‘In blocking it, they are in denial of the hardship the American people are experiencing now, health wise, financially, and every way.’
But judging by the state of the garage door, some Americans are outraged with Pelosi over her efforts.
This isn’t the first time the House Speaker’s home has been targeted.
Back in September, a Youtuber appeared to defecate in the driveway of her home in a livestream video.
In the footage, the man was seen walking through the streets of San Francisco in search of the Democrat’s home.
Once he found her home, he set up a camera across the road and walked over to her driveway.
Armando then saluted his viewers, pulled down his pants and proceeded to squat.
After a few seconds, Armando stands to his feet and wipes his buttocks before walking away and leaving behind what appeared to be feces.
‘That was for President Trump,’ Armando is heard telling his viewers.
