CNN Panel Explodes Over Tesla Vandalism, January 6 Comparisons

Scott Jennings and Neera Tanden clash over labeling Tesla dealership attacks as 'domestic terrorism' and parallels to Capitol riot accountability.

Scott Jennings labeled vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships, including arson in Las Vegas, as 'domestic terrorism,' aligning with Donald Trump's statements.
Neera Tanden countered by comparing the Tesla attacks to the January 6 Capitol riot, accusing Jennings of hypocrisy for downplaying rioter pardons.
Jennings defended his record, asserting he condemned January 6 early and does not support pardons for rioters, while criticizing Tanden for being condescending.
Tanden emphasized that all political violence is unacceptable, whether at Tesla dealerships or during the Capitol riot, and mocked Jennings on social media after the exchange.
Law enforcement investigations into the Tesla vandalism incidents are ongoing, with the debate highlighting broader tensions over political violence and Elon Musk's political role.
