Democrats are getting bolder. But this deserves jail time.
Because this Democrat Congresswoman’s ties to terrorism were exposed for all to see
House Republicans Demand FBI Probe into Tesla Attacks
A coalition of House Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, took action on Friday, pressing FBI Director Kash Patel to launch an investigation into what they describe as domestic terrorism targeting Tesla owners and dealerships.
In a sharply worded letter co-signed by six GOP colleagues, they point fingers at the “radical Left” and specifically call out Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, suggesting her rhetoric may be fueling a wave of violent acts against the electric car company.
The lawmakers’ letter urges Patel to “open an inquiry into those who are fomenting, inciting and engaging in domestic terrorism, including recent calls to action by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.” They argue that Crockett “has joined those who are fomenting the violence by encouraging her followers to ‘take down’ Elon Musk and Tesla,” tying her comments to a broader pattern of attacks they see as crossing legal lines.
Alleged Crimes and a Legal Line in the Sand
The Republicans ground their case in the legal definition of domestic terrorism, which includes “acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, such as violence or threatening or intimidating.”
They also highlight actions meant to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population or to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion” as qualifying under the statute. To back their claims, they list recent incidents: eight Molotov cocktails hurled at a Tesla dealership in Oregon, an attempted arson of a Tesla vehicle in Colorado, and vandalism targeting a Tesla and charging stations in South Carolina.
“Of course, these despicable acts are growing in an organized way to intimidate ordinary citizens who simply own a car manufactured by Tesla,” the lawmakers assert. “Those behind this conspiracy of violence are now trying to dox Tesla owners and are encouraging vandalism and violence.” The letter, co-signed by Reps. Eli Crane (AZ), Eric Burlison (MO), Keith Self (TX), Clay Higgins (LA), Andy Ogles (TN), and Lauren Boebert (CO), paints a picture of escalating aggression they want the FBI to tackle head-on.
Crockett’s Call and a Clash of Interpretations
The spotlight turned to Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she posted a video Thursday aligning herself with the “Tesla Takedown” movement—a group billing itself as a “peaceful protest” pushing investors to ditch Tesla stock. In the video, the Texas Democrat, who serves on the House Department of Government Efficiency Subcommittee, didn’t mince words:
“On March 29 it’s my birthday. All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.” Yet she quickly clarified her intent, adding, “The things that we’re fighting for — we are fighting for our country, we are fighting for democracy, we’re fighting for our freedom — and when I say fighting, I am saying that figuratively. Obviously everything that I am promoting is nonviolent and so definitely don’t want anyone to take that word literal in any way.”
Republicans, however, aren’t buying the disclaimer. They contend she and others “encouraged these acts in order to intimidate the head of [the Department of Government Efficiency], Elon Musk, and influence the policies of the Trump Administration. These incitements appear to violate the law.”
They warn that what started as protest has “morphed into an organized effort to promote violence,” pressing Patel to investigate both the perpetrators and those they see as instigators.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department is already moving on related cases. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that three individuals accused of damaging Tesla property in Colorado, Oregon, and South Carolina face up to 20 years in prison on domestic terrorism charges.
“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi stated. “Let this be a warning, If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.” The defendants allegedly used firearms and explosives, targeting assets tied to Musk’s company amid his high-profile role in the Trump administration.
President Trump weighed in Friday via social media, upping the stakes with a provocative suggestion: “I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”
