Liberal Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland shamelessly blamed President Donald Trump for the attacks on Tesla vehicles happening nationwide during an appearance on Friday’s episode of NewsNation’s “Cuomo.”
Raskin said that anti-Tesla violence and property destruction are wrong but quickly pivoted to blaming Republicans for the leftist domestic terrorism.
Cuomo began by asking why Democrat leaders aren’t telling people to stop.
“Burning Teslas, I think they’re acts of terrorism,” Cuomo said. “And I don’t hear Democrats trying to grab some high ground here and say, who’s doing this? Who’s doing this? This is not America. You don’t burn up people’s property like this. These are acts of terror, what they’re doing to these Teslas. I don’t hear your guys saying it. Why?”
Raskin replied with a nonsensical answer about Trump pardoning January 6 political prisoners.
“Well, number one, let me say it right now, and I absolutely deplore and oppose any act of violence against human beings, like we saw on January 6, with the massive violence leveled against our police officers,” Raskin said with a straight face. “And I’m opposed to burning other people’s property. That’s against the law.”
Raskin continued, “And this is the kind of civil disorder that has been unleashed in the country and licensed by Donald Trump, who pardoned more than 1,500 insurrectionists, including hundreds of people who violently assaulted our police officers. So, that scene you’re showing me [of burning Teslas] makes me sick, not as sick as the attack on our police officers, but it’s in the same domain, and it’s all because of the same reason.”
Common tactics in these attacks include arson (often with Molotov cocktails), gunfire, and vandalism (graffiti, physical damage).
