Dem senator who ditched Tesla to protest Musk refuses to call violence against cars 'domestic terrorism' (Kelly)
Fox News ^ | 4/02/25 | Andrew Mark Miller

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who ditched his Tesla last month, refused to label recent violence at Tesla dealerships in protest of Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts as "domestic terrorism," a term that has been used by Republicans and the Justice Department.

"Certainly vandalism and it's a crime," Kelly told Fox News Digital when asked if the violence at Tesla dealerships in response to DOGE amounted to terrorism.

"It's a significant crime, especially if you're going to firebomb a car or vandalize somebody's vehicle or even key somebody's vehicle. They shouldn't be doing it. And these should be investigated. And if people are caught, they should be prosecuted."

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Elon Musk have both called the violence "domestic terrorism" in recent weeks.

When pressed by Fox News Digital on not using the word terrorism, Kelly said, "I think we've got to tread lightly on the whole ‘terrorism’ word."

"We sometimes try 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's dangerous. Somebody is going to get hurt. And for that reason, we should put, you know, the full force of law enforcement to this problem and prosecute people."

Arson is not vandalism! Arson is a bonafide 20 year prison term.

“. . . were right — domestic terrorists *are* white.”

Well, white is a color so they are colored people.

Stupid leftists vandalizing the property of self-righteous leftists is how I’d frame it. Calling the keying of a car terrorism trivializes that word, and is not necessary to highlight the pettiness, lawlessness and dysfunctionality of the leftist worldview.

Look to the motivation of the perpetrators. Finding your car keyed just because someone felt like it is different than targeting a specific brand. You would be foolish to live in fear of a random attack, but you would also be foolish to not have some sence of fear after being targeted. Instilling fear is something a terrorist craves. They are not your run of the mill vadalizers, they are terrorists of some degree.

I think Kelly’s thinking has been affected by too much stress in his life’s experiences. His ditching of a nice Tesla for a gas guzzling (15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway) Chevy Tahoe are a red flag. Perhaps, he is paving the way for a run for the Whiter House—another red flag!
