Yesterday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (R-CA) had one of her homes in California vandalized horribly. We were among the first outlets to report on the story which originally surfaced on Twitter via Maggie Vandenberghe AKA Fog City Midge.
Now Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has had something similar happen to him. It looks slightly less bloody here but still arguably concerning, even for those who don’t support McConnell. Political violence is simply not the answer and we disavow all of it, although most of it seems to come from the left in our view.
Lawrence Smith Reported on Twitter:
“The Louisville home of @senatemajldr has apparently been tagged by vandals. Someone spray-painted a message on his door. Don’t know whether McConnell was home at the time.”

McConnell has faced fire and fury from people on both sides of the political aisle. Many people in both parties wanted a $2000 stimulus check instead of $600, since the government’s shutdowns have put many out of work, or out of business.
This isn’t a normal time, and the usual ‘socialism sucks’ mantra is of no use to anyone, considering many people had no choice but to close their businesses. Mitch blocked a bill for $2000 checks, requesting some Republicans ‘goodies’ that may have been good but were unlikely to be approved by Democrats be added, rendering the bill effectively dead.
President Trump even supported the $2000 checks, in addition to cutting foreign aid, but some in Congress apparently wants to give our tax money to other countries on a bi-partisan level for some reason that is unbeknownst to us.
Although the potential foreign-aid cuts would have been part of the ‘goodies’ we referenced, Trump would have likely passed the bill without it to get more stimulus money to Americans who are struggling.
Meanwhile, the Republican-led US Senate overrode Trump’s NDAA veto for military funding as well, tragically setting the stage for leftists to rename Confederate named military bases.
It seems many on the right have little to no representation. We don’t know if it was leftists who vandalized McConnell’s house, but it probably was. We also disavow that action but Mitch McConnell is apparently still out of touch with what the American people want.
If the GOP loses the upcoming Georgia runoff races for the US Senate, Mitch will no longer be the Majority Leader anyway. Time will tell, but as of now it’s not looking good for the old guard GOP.
