Pelosi's San Francisco Home Vandalized With Graffiti, Pig Head on New Year's Day
A San Francisco home belonging to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was vandalized with graffiti and a pig's head in the early morning hours of New Year's Day.
It was vandalized with messages alluding to Pelosi's failed push for $2,000 stimulus checks, which was repeatedly shot down by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Photos of Pelosi's home could be seen on social media, as posted by filmmaker Maggie VandenBerghe on Friday.
It showed Pelosi's vandalized garage door with messages reading: "$2k Cancel RENT! We want everything!" reported Daily Mail. The pig's head was seen surrounded by what appeared to be a pool of fake blood in front of the garage door.
There were also spray-painted symbols showing two-letter A's enclosed in circles, a known symbol for anarchism.

These were disturbing messages, but all seem to tie into Americans' ongoing financial struggles amid the pandemic.
Pelosi Not Home When Vandalism Happened
According to CBS Bay Area, San Francisco police said the House speaker was not home during the time of the vandalism since she was still in Washington, D.C.
San Francisco Police Department told Fox News they first received calls on the incident around 2 a.m. that day. Officers arrived at the scene around an hour later and documented the incident.
At the time, they only said the incident happened in the 2600 block of Broadway, but they did not confirm if there was anyone at the time or who owned the home.
KRON 4 also said the fake blood was removed, and the spray-painted messages have been covered up.

Frustrated, VandenBerghe saw this as the police's way of "covering up" the incident.
"City called to clean up at 3am & police attempting to stop photos of scene. Media SILENT," she tweeted.
No Suspects Turned Up to Police
The residence was said to be just one of Pelosi's several California homes. It is located in the neighborhood of Pacific Heights.
According to property records, it has four bedrooms and three bathrooms and is estimated to be worth at least $5 million.
Authorities said the suspects have not yet been identified, and no one has turned up to admit what they did it.
But some of the graffiti mentioned UBI (universal basic income) and "cancel rent," the police will be working with the assumption that the culprit was associated with these movements.
They urged anyone with information on the case to call their tip line at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411, beginning the message with "SFPD," reported San Francisco Chronicle.
Neighbors Frustrated With Vandalism on Pelosi Home
Pelosi's neighbors told CBS that they understand the frustration over the stimulus checks and politics in Capitol Hill.
However, they said this type of response from the public would likely not resolve anything.
"I don't think that this is a useful way to go about it and it's a terrible start to this new year," Pelosi's neighbor Audrey Carlson said.
Carlson added that she hoped for "less anger and hatred" for the year ahead than the last year. Various news outlets have also reached out to Pelosi's office, but no comments have been released as of posting.
