Democrat lawmakers have awkwardly avoided calling the recent attacks on Tesla cars and dealerships acts of ‘domestic terrorism.’ 

The Trump Administration recently declared the act of attacking a Tesla for political reasons will carry the charge of domestic terrorism after the president’s ally Elon Musk’s company took a hard hit following his DOGE conquest. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi also warned those thinking of destroying Tesla dealerships and properties that they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law on Monday.

But Democrats have been mum on their thoughts regarding the high charge and have avoided countering with their own definition. 

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, who recently announced he would sell his Tesla, said he would ‘certainly’ agree the attacks are ‘vandalism’ and a ‘significant crime,’ but fell short of calling it terrorism. 

‘I think we’ve got to tread lightly on the whole ‘terrorist’ word,’ he told Fox News Digital. ‘Sometimes trying to expand this thing, it kind of loses its focus. 

‘But when folks are vandalizing people’s vehicles or dealerships, it is wrong and it is dangerous. Somebody’s going to get hurt. For that reason, we should let the full force of law enforcement get to this problem and prosecute it.’ 

Nearly 100 incidents have occurred across the US and Canada since Musk joined Trump’s camp.

Democratic strongholds, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have avoided the topic. When ask if the anti-Musk rhetoric by Democrats was a factor in the Tesla attacks, AOC fired back Republicans had previously called her a ‘communist’ and claimed she hated the country and they didn’t claim the hatred toward her was driven by them

Tesla’s sales also plummeted by 13 percent to a three-year low before he announced he would be stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency on Wednesday. 

Other Democratic strongholds, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also avoided the topic. 

When asked if the anti-Musk rhetoric by Democrats was a factor in the Tesla attacks, AOC fired back Republicans had previously called her a ‘communist’ and claimed she hated the country and they didn’t claim the hatred toward her was driven by them, Fox News Digital said. 

Previously, the vocal liberal claimed her GOP counterparts engaged in ‘stochastic terrorism’ after she and other congressmen had received threats following Republicans, like Donald Trump, coming after them. 

Pennsylvania Representative Summer Lee told Fox News Digital that ‘violence is against human beings,’ insinuating that a metal Tesla cannot be harmed. 

She also said it is important to ‘recognize the difference between the frustration of people that is maybe organic, but also the language that is coming from people who are in power.’ 

She went on to say that the rhetoric coming from the Trump Administration is dangerous. 

‘Donald Trump is in power and he’s abusing that and it’s going to harm people and has already,’ she told the outlet. 

Firebrand Representative Jasmine Crockett – who recently told Musk to ‘f**k off’ – told the conservative outlet that AG Bondi needs to thread lightly.’ Bondi warned those thinking of destroying Teslas that they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law on Monday

However, Republicans have been vocal on their feelings toward suspected liberal damaging Tesla. ‘What you see these woke, radical liberals doing to a car they used to want championed, is lighting them on fire, destroying property, that’s not how adults behave,’ he said 

‘Because of the rhetoric from the administration, because of the rhetoric from the right, we’re seeing American citizens being picked up, we’re seeing a lot of profiling that’s happening, I think that that’s incredibly dangerous and again those are being perpetrated against people.’

The representative also admitted she hasn’t really been following the Tesla attacks in the news.

However, Republicans have been vocal on their feelings toward suspected liberal damaging Tesla. 

Representative Addison McDowell recalled how Republicans boycott Bud Light after it gifted transgender content creator Dylan Mulvaney a personalized can of the beer. 

‘We didn’t just say: “We’re going to burn down Bud Light manufacturers.” We just didn’t buy it,’ he told Fox News Digital. 

‘What you see these woke, radical liberals doing to a car they used to want championed, is lighting them on fire, destroying property, that’s not how adults behave.’

Dozens of fired-up crowds assembled outside Tesla stores across the country recently to protest against Musk’s efforts to slash government spending and enact reforms. Demonstrations also erupted in London, Portugal, Malaysia and Iceland.

Roughly 250 activists were gathered outside a showroom in New York City last month, holding anti-Musk placards that read ‘Block Fascism Now and ‘Musk Must Go’ as they shouted ‘Elon Musk is not elected! Democracy must be protected!’

Five protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct at the Manhattan demonstration and one was taken into custody for resisting arrest, obstruction and violation of local law, The New York Daily News reported.

There have also been more than a dozen acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to police and local reports.

A Tesla showroom in Salem, Oregon, was shot at with an AR 15-style rifle in February. Suspected vandal Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, is also accused of causing major damage at the same store with Molotov cocktails in January.

Similarly, four Tesla Cybertrucks were set ablaze overnight at a storage lot in Seattle’s industrial SoDo neighborhood, KING-TV reported.

Officials say at least two vehicles were severely damaged in the fire. Seattle police are investigating if the blaze was an act of arson.

The attacks came after DOGE faced intense scrutiny for its chaotic handling of layoffs, particularly its firing of key federal employees only to attempt to rehire them later.
