(DCNF)—Some Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday refused to answer questions concerning whether or not they condemn the recent string of violent attacks targeting Tesla dealerships.
Tesla dealerships and charging stations across the nation have been targeted by vandals in recent weeks amid ongoing backlash against Elon Musk due to his ties to President Donald Trump, as well as his attempts to eliminate unnecessary spending and reduce waste at federal agencies as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Several congressional Democrats have publicly criticized Musk and Tesla in recent weeks, including Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who claimed in a Feb. 7 post on X that Musk is an “unelected billionaire” who is “dismantling our democracy.”
Tlaib on Tuesday refused to answer a question from Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Myles Morell about whether or not she condemns recent acts of vandalism at Tesla dealerships, instead asking him, “are they paying you well … because I believe you should be paid fair wage.”

Tlaib also wrote in a Feb. 10 post on X that Musk “is now calling the shots and Republicans are blocking our efforts to hold him accountable,” adding that “this is oligarchy.”
Democratic Nevada Rep. Susie Lee did not respond when asked by the DCNF whether or not she condemns Tesla dealerships being attacked. Lee has previously criticized Musk, such as claiming in a Feb. 8 social media post that he is “a billionaire with massive government contracts and business ties to the Chinese government.”

When asked about whether he denounces the recent Tesla attacks, Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost told the DCNF that “we condemn all attacks,” but added that he does not condemn people “being mad” at Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the recent cases of vandalism at Tesla dealerships in a March 20 statement, referring to it as a “wave of domestic terrorism.” President Donald Trump criticized Tesla vandals in a March 21 post on Truth Social, stating that he is looking forward to “watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla.”
