SEATTLE RED OPINION

Rantz: Seattle has a domestic terrorism problem that Democrats won’t talk about

Mar 14, 2025, 5:00 AM

Seattle and surrounding cities keep experiencing incidents of domestic terrorism. But Democratic leaders don’t want to condemn it – perhaps because they think they benefit from it politically.

Tesla vehicles and dealerships have been frequently targeted since Elon Musk joined the Trump administration via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Tesla vehicles have been tagged with swastikas, burned to a crisp and keyed. Tesla dealerships have also been damaged.

The attacks against Tesla areboth meant to make a political point and intimidate Musk to drop his work on DOGE. Violence serving a political agenda is textbook domestic terrorism. But much like their reaction to left-wing Antifa violence, Democrats seem fine letting the violence continue because it helps their campaign to demonize Musk, which they think hurts President Donald Trump.

Call this what it is: domestic terrorism

The FBI defines “domestic terrorism” as “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

As President Trump noted, targeted Teslas to further ideological goals is exactly what’s happening.

Democrats used to pretend about the domestic terrorist threats – they were just making up what the threat actually was. They breathlessly claimed white supremacists were the biggest threat facing the country. Yet, they couldn’t really point to much of the so-called terrorism actually happening.

Here, you have politically motivated violence and they won’t say a thing. It’s almost like they don’t really care about it and hope you don’t notice.
