Moulton: Attacks on Teslas, Dealerships Are ‘a Protest’
Breitbart ^ | 03/13/2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/13/2025 5:17:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) responded to the Trump administration stating that attacks on Teslas or Tesla dealerships could be domestic terrorism by stating that President Donald Trump believes that “somehow, having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is” domestic terrorism and Trump believes “freedom and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that’s it. … That’s not a view that people who believe in our Constitution share.”

Host Audie Cornish asked, “[P]ublic backlash against Elon Musk, the Trump administration is now saying that, like, if you are attacking Teslas or dealerships, going beyond vandalism, that that could be an act of domestic terrorism. But I do want to ask about this as resistance, is this what resistance should look like?”

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a cover for serious sociopathy. People so afflicted need to be placed in residential “facilities” for the mentally ill...for their own good and for the good of civil society.

I feel bad for DemonRAT environmentalists who own Teslas. The rabid, radical Jew Hater DemonRATS are coming for their Teslas.

LOL! How’s your EV running now?

Stand 500 feet from an abortion clinic and pray = terrorism

Burn down city blocks and attack people = protest

Democrats are psychopathic haters who have repressed and sublimated their impulses for power and control, but everyone once in a while they let their hate slip off their tongue.

It is pretty simple

You have a right to 'peaceably assemble'

Anything beyond that is an infringement of someone else's rights.

Vandalism is a crime deserving of whatever punishment the provides. So don't go to a 'protest' and think that you can damage property with impunity.

And clean up after yourselves. Littering is a crime as well.

Sorry, protests that destroys private property crosses the line into riot, and no longer maintains what is aptly named a protest.

To block access also crosses the line of protest, as we have seen with humans occupying roads to prevent people from freely moving about in vehicles, especially high speed freeways, should be deemed as illegal protests.

Nobody cares if people picket outside of Tesla Dealerships, not on their property. That is a Constitutional right.

Destroying property is not.

Of course, that should mean that people picketing outside abortion clinics, not on their property, should be a Constitutional right. But we know how that goes.

I wonder what Mr. Moulton thinks of people praying in front of abortion clinics?

Only one way this will stop. Arrest these people and make them pay.

They get away with this all the time and move on to the next.
