Vandalizing elected officials home is not the way democracy works. Telephone calls, texts, and letters are the standard method to deliver a message to Congresspersons. This is disgraceful and it is a form of violence. On top of all that Nancy Pelosi was the one person that passed a bill increasing the checks to Americans for $2000.
If the USA wants people in office that are sensitive to the plight of the American people then vote that way.
There are dearly few things I value about McConnell, but, this is not the way. Voting in the USA needs to be an ongoing process not a last-minute decision based on millions and billions of TV and radio ads. The reason Citizen's United turned the voting process on it's head is because Americans don't do their homework before they vote. Citizens' United should be mute to voting. Ever hear of newspapers? Read. Read a lot and know the truth. That is an informed voter. The USA's constitution demands an electorate that cares about their country, freedom, and Constitution. Take your freedom seriously. This is not the way to be serious about voting.
The vandals damaged the entire front porch of Senator McConnell's home. What the real message here is that this is more a threat than a message. Is there no one protecting McConnell from such attacks. It bothers me that the Majority Leader of the US Senate does not have a secure home. They might be protected by a home monitoring system, but, that sure didn't prevent this. It could have been worse.
Speaker Pelosi the same thing. No one is securing her home? It is a worry.

Louisville - United States Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's Louisville home (click here) was vandalized early Saturday morning following his blocking of $2,000 stimulus checks to most Americans.
Messages like "where's my money" and other expletives were written with spray paint across the front door and bricks of the Kentucky Republican's Highlands residence.
McConnell said in a statement Saturday morning that “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."
He concluded: “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.”...
