Liberal Fox News Host is Told to ‘Tell Your People To Stop Firebombing’ Teslas [WATCH]

On Friday evening, Fox News host Jesse Watters called on Democratic Party strategist Jessica Tarlov to urge her “people” to “stop firebombing” Tesla facilities.

His comment came as part of a heated exchange on “The Five,” where the panel discussed recent protests targeting Tesla and its billionaire owner Elon Musk.

Protests against Musk and his electric vehicle company, Tesla, escalated this month, with reports of Tesla charging stations being graffitied and set on fire.

The unrest comes amid Musk’s growing involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), drawing increasing scrutiny from various groups.

During the discussion, “The Five” co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro highlighted the apparent hypocrisy of some Democratic lawmakers who have condemned domestic terrorism in the past but remained silent about the attacks on Tesla facilities.

Pirro pointed out that several lawmakers who had previously proposed a federal domestic terrorism law had not responded to inquiries about whether the recent attacks on Musk’s company qualified as domestic terrorism.

“OK, Jessica, the Dems have railed against domestic terrorism for years, and in fact, the 13 who had proposed a federal domestic terrorism law apparently refused to respond to Fox News as to whether or not they felt that they agreed with this being domestic terrorism,” Pirro said.

Tarlov responded, calling for anyone in a position of power to denounce violent actions, stating, “I would advise anyone who can go on the record and is in any position of power to come on and denounce any violent action.”

The debate continued with a discussion of Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who called for Musk to be “taken down” during a conversation with the Tesla Takedown movement.

Crockett made the comment on Thursday, saying she wanted “Elon to be taken down” for her birthday, later clarifying that she meant it “figuratively.”

Tarlov brought up a controversial incident involving pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats, asking Pirro, “Do you want to then take responsibility for everyone who sent a pipe bomb that was influenced by Donald Trump?”

The back-and-forth intensified as Greg Gutfeld criticized Tarlov for only having one example to use against Republicans.

Tarlov then expanded her argument, referencing other violent incidents. “People who show up and shoot up Walmarts looking for brown people. You want to take people who’ve been influenced by Donald Trump,” she said.

Pirro rejected Tarlov’s argument, asserting that “the Democrats are calling for the destruction,” referring to failed Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, who had been seen gloating over Tesla’s stock decline. Pirro cited Walz’s remarks during his tour, stating, “I thought that it was really stupid.”

Tarlov responded by criticizing Walz’s comments and emphasizing the importance of protecting the jobs of Tesla workers.

“Ro Khanna is right. He has 20,000 people who work at Tesla. There are hundreds of millions of dollars in Tesla stock that fuel these pensions or fund these pensions, I should say,” she said.

“If you don’t want to buy the car, don’t buy the car. If you want to sell the car, sell the car.”

The discussion shifted to President Donald Trump’s statements about immigration policies.

Pirro asserted that it was crucial to “get rid of the criminals” in the U.S., asking Watters about his investments in Tesla. Watters jokingly replied, “I’m invested. I’ve been invested. So go for it if you want. Am I in trouble now, Jessica?”

Tarlov, who acknowledged she was also likely invested in Tesla, responded, “Probably.”

In a final remark, Watters told Tarlov, “OK, good. So tell your people to stop firebombing.”

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that three individuals had been arrested in connection with the destruction of Tesla properties.

In a statement, the Department of Justice confirmed that the suspects would “face the full force of the law” for using Molotov cocktails to destroy Tesla cars and charging stations.

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi said. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
