MSNBC claims violent arson, gunfire attacks on Tesla dealerships are 'protests'
The Post Millennial ^ | 3/12/25 | Hannah Nightingale

Posted on 03/12/2025 5:11:10 PM PDT by CFW

MSNBC anchors described the attacks on Tesla dealerships across the nation as "protests," coming as Trump has stated that attacks on these dealerships would be treated as domestic terrorism.

The anchor said, "you have this post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal. He said today he would label violence against dealerships as domestic terrorism." After playing a clip of Trump’s remarks outside the White House while viewing a Tesla car, the anchor said, "So just to be clear, you protest a private company, you are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist."

After taking the Tesla car for a test drive at the White House, Trump was asked by a reporter if the recent violence against dealerships would be labeled domestic terrorism.

Trump responded, "I’ll do it. I'm gonna stop 'em. We catch anybody doing it, because they're harming a great American company."

He added, "When you hurt an American company, especially a company like this that supplies so many American jobs, that others are unable to do. When you do that, those people are gonna go through a big problem when we catch them. We've got a lot of cameras up," adding that "we already know who some of them are. We're gonna catch them."

I hope they do start catching these terrorists (paid from Soros money) and charge them with federal crimes. They need to spend decades in prison.

When you attack civilians for the purpose of changing political policies, that is terrorism.

“Top 20 Violent Anti-Musk Protests: The Unhinged Left’s Greatest Hits”

https://directorblue.substack.com/p/top-20-violent-anti-musk-protests

“Grab your popcorn, because this list of 20 unhinged stunts is what happens when Democrats discover fire.

Molotov Cocktails at Tesla Dealership in Oregon

On Inauguration Day 2025, Adam Matthew Lansky hurled Molotov cocktails at Tesla vehicles parked near a dealership in Salem, Oregon, setting multiple cars ablaze.

Witnesses reported Lansky, dressed in black and wielding an AR-style rifle, targeted the lot in protest of Musk’s DOGE cuts, as documented in a federal court complaint cited by The Washington Post on March 8, 2025.

The fiery attack left a charred wreckage of electric vehicles, symbolizing the violent rejection of Musk’s influence in Trump’s administration.

Nothing says “I hate budget cuts” like turning a $70,000 car into dust.

Arson at Tesla Supercharger Station in Littleton

Early on March 7, 2025, activists doused a Tesla Supercharger station in Littleton, Colorado, with an accelerant and set it ablaze, as reported by The Washington Post. Police Chief Matthew Pinard confirmed the incident as arson, with no suspects identified, linking it to growing anti-Musk sentiment over federal job cuts.

The flames consumed several charging units, leaving a smoldering ruin as a stark message against Tesla’s association with DOGE.

Shots Fired at Tesla Dealership in Portland

On March 6, 2025, at least seven gunshots rang out at a Tesla dealership in Portland, Oregon, shattering windows and damaging three cars, according to CBS affiliate KOIN cited by Vanity Fair on March 9.

Law enforcement tied the attack to escalating protests against Musk’s role in slashing government programs, with no arrests reported.

The bullet-riddled storefront stood as a chilling testament to the rage directed at Musk and Trump’s agenda.

Portland: duck and cover from the local welcome wagon.

So it’s okay for those of us who do not like the liberal “media” to go protest and burn all of MSNBC’s buildings? Gee! Thanks! Stupid dicks.

They did the exact same thing with the 2020 riots. This is “mostly peaceful” arson and shooting.

Declaring something a “protest” does not make a terrorist not chargeable as a crime.

Conservative free speech is violence. And silence is violence.

Radical Leftist violence is free speech. John Roberts, ACB and the rest of the gals agree!

Gun fire?? I thought liberals didn’t like guns and wanted them outlawed. In fact the truth is this: liberals have no problem with guns. Their problem is that you can have them too. Additionally this demonstrates that liberals would have no problem committing genocide with guns. First it’s cars then they’d easily graduate to ppl.

They should arrest MSNBC personalities for supporting terrorism. Lock em up in private cells in federal prison until they plead guilty.

Quite frankly, with the rhetoric and now the violence being perpetrated by the left, I’m beginning to wonder if we’re not headed for a Hot civil War.

The left, and especially the TRANS-TIFA left has suddenly discovered a great love of firearms.
