The homes of Senator Mitch McConnell and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the two most powerful members of Congress, have been reported vandalized, days after the contentious passage of a stimulus bill that has been criticized as inadequate by a broad coalition ranging from progressive activists to President Trump. In a statement on Saturday, Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, lamented what he called a “radical tantrum” drawn from a “toxic playbook.” The Louisville station WDRB-TV reported that the senator’s home was tagged overnight with red and white spray paint. Photos show writing on the front of the home, including “Weres my money” on the front door. “I’ve spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest,” Mr. McConnell said in the statement. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the home belonged to Ms. Pelosi.
