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.

    Torching and destroying cars and dealerships isnt the same as some critical speech… The title is just a complete clickbait fabrication…

      If someone can’t say that Israel is wiping innocent lives off their homeland in a fashion that can only be described as a genocide without it being deemed illegal and grounds for a criminal offense and/or other punishments, freedom of speech does not exist. It is in no way anti semitism. Israel is a state, not a religion. Long before Israel was paying politicians in the U.S. for their states best interests whether for the good of humanity or not, Jewish people existed, and long after the U.S. and Israel are gone, Judiasm will likely be here. Judiasm isn’t asking them to murder children, politicians are ordering it.

      Torching and destroying cars is already illegal. No reason to designate it as domestic terrorism.

        If they are considered terrorists, it is easier for MAGA to justify sending them to the concentration camps in Guantanamo or El Salvador.
