The Hill contacted Pelosi’s office but did not receive an immediate response.
On Saturday, McConnell’s home in Louisville, Kentucky, was attacked with graffiti on the front door that said, “Where’s My Money?” And extra paint was sprayed on a window.
House Democrats passed a bill late last year that would increase stimulus controls from $ 600 to $ 2,000.
However, the bill was blocked in the Senate for the fourth consecutive day on Friday, closing the door to an already unlikely chance that lawmakers could get a bill for President Trump

The 116th Congress ends Sunday morning.
The bill received the backing of several Republicans in the House at the time of its passing, and some Republicans in the Senate have expressed support for the measure.
However, other Republicans are against the bill, citing budget deficits.
McConnell had suggested that the $ 2,000 checks could be linked to attempts to repeal Section 230 and create a committee to investigate claims of voter fraud and election irregularities in November.

A spokesman for McConnell’s office released a statement in The Hill on Saturday condemning the vandalism against the home of the majority leader in Kentucky.
“I’ve spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest,” McConnell said in the prepared statement. “I appreciate every Kentuckian who has been involved in the Democratic process, whether they agree with me or not.”
“This is different. Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society,” the senator added.
My wife and I have never been intimidated by this toxic playbook. We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren’t too bothered by this radical tantrum, ”he continued.
Authorities in both cities are continuing to investigate graffiti cases to determine possible suspects, WLEX reported.
It’s not immediately clear whether security cameras were watching McConnell’s home, although the outlet noted that several security cameras are monitoring Pelosi’s home and neighborhood.
