Tensions surrounding coronavirus stimulus check negotiations are rising as millions of Americans are getting desperate to keep food on the table. Being one of the main players of the back and forth game Congress has been playing for months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made herself a target.
So over the weekend, someone decided to leave a present outside of her house, and it wasn’t a cute gift basket or flowers.
Photos are being passed around social media showing the garage of Pelosi’s San Francisco home with a direct message from angry citizens spray-painted across the door.
The graffiti reads, “$
2KCancel Rent! We want everything!” and “UBI!” referring to the idea of universal basic income.Taking things one step further, the vandals left a severed pig’s head covered in fake blood in the driveway.

A San Francisco Police Department spokesman said officers responded to a call about vandalism around 2 a.m. Friday morning. It was reported that “Unidentified suspect(s) had painted graffiti on the garage door and left a pig’s head on the sidewalk.”
Officers said the scene was in the 2600 block of Broadway but at that time did not confirm who owned the home or if anyone was there at the time.
According to photos from a local San Francisco news station the graffiti was covered up with trash bags and the pig’s head and fake blook were cleaned up.
Police have not confirmed if they have any suspects, but the message included two A’s with circles around them, a symbol typically associated with anarchism.
Congress negotiations have spilled over into the new year with no signs of a compromise in sight. President Trump and Democrat lawmakers are demanding $2,000 stimulus checks for every American but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refuses to allow the bill calling it “socialism for rich.”
