The coordinated attacks on Teslas, Tesla drivers and Tesla dealers represent one of the most appalling political developments of recent years. These attacks are coordinated, organized and financed: yesterday was proclaimed a “global day of action” by the “Tesla Takedown” movement. CNN found the violence exciting.
As do, apparently, 100% of Democratic politicians. I hadn’t seen any Democratic officeholders condemn the violence, so I thought I must have missed it. But no: the Google search “Democrats condemn Tesla attacks” turns up zero instances of any such criticism.
Today, Senate Democrats made it official that they support arson, firing of bullets into Tesla dealerships, and violence and threats of violence against Tesla drivers. Tennessee’s Marsha Blackburn introduced a resolution condemning the anti-Tesla violence. It contained nothing that any reasonable person could object to:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate condemns the horrific acts of violence, arson, and domestic terrorism committed against electric vehicles, car dealerships, and charging stations throughout the United States.
But it was too much for Democrats to swallow: they killed the resolution.
Democrats have a long history of using violence and threats of violence to achieve their political goals, going back to the Ku Klux Klan, and beyond. Today’s vote, and the resounding silence of every Democratic politician in the face of domestic terrorism, represent a disgusting continuation of that tradition.
