Former President Donald Trump recently proposed a 20-year jail sentence for individuals vandalizing Tesla properties, sparking debate about the appropriate response to such acts. Fox News Digital sought comment from 13 Democratic lawmakers who have previously championed legislation targeting domestic terrorism. These lawmakers were questioned specifically about whether they believed the government should prioritize addressing vandalism targeting Tesla. The inquiry follows a pattern of vandalism incidents at Tesla locations across the country.
Despite their past advocacy for combating domestic terrorism, none of the 13 Democrats contacted have offered a response to Fox News Digital's request for comment. This silence has drawn attention, particularly given the high-profile nature of the former president's statement and the ongoing discussion surrounding property damage and political expression. The lack of response leaves unanswered questions about the Democrats' stance on the severity of the proposed punishment and whether they consider the Tesla vandalism to fall under the umbrella of domestic terrorism.
