Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and her colleagues appear to be stepping up the pressure on the FBI and the Attorney General to investigate instances of Tesla vandalism as acts of domestic terrorism, which Donald Trump has championed.

Summary

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.

Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.

Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.

    Yep. White supremacists groups backing Trump and shouting “the Jews will not replace us” is definitely the same as destroying private property.

    The only difference is that the Trump told the proud boys to “Stand By”. The left couldn’t even get the Democrats to allow a Palestinian to speak at the DNC.

    Let’s not pretend the “far left” is represented in DC. The “far right” is literally sitting in the white house as we speak. God, I wish we lived in this delusional world you crafted.

      The Left literally is okay with antisemitism. We have politicians on the Left that are openly against Israel and Jews. Yet, no one seems to care among the Democrat party. I don’t condone the Proud Boys or Nazis, they’re all idiots. But “let’s not pretend” the Left is innocent in this political war.

        I think it’s pretty antisemitic to equate all Jews with Israel. That would be like equating all Muslims with ISIS.

        But I doubt it’s worth my time to try to explain this to you if you think not supporting Israel is antisemitic. If you still think this in 2025 nothing I say will help you. You have to be purposely closing your eyes at this point.
