Far-left Democrat Jasmine Crockett of Texas watched silently as an aide got into a Fox News Digital reporter's face and attempted to intimidate him from asking a question about whether Democrat rhetoric has contributed to the ongoing spate of violent attacks against Tesla owners and dealers.

Bondi warned Crockett in particular to "tread very carefully" after she called for Elon Musk to be "taken down" during a "Tesla Takedown" event.  

In light of this, a Fox News Digital reporter asked, "What's your response to the attorney general saying you're threatening lives with your rhetoric against Musk and Tesla?"

Crockett, who was surrounded by aides and security personnel, did not answer the question, but an aide approached the reporter, getting right into the camera, prompting the reporter to ask, "Why are you in my face?" to which he responded, "I'm not."

"Congresswoman, do you see any connection to you saying you want to take down Musk to the violence that's going on in the streets?" the reporter asked.

Crockett did not respond or make eye contact, but her aide continued to stare intently at the reporter as they walked away.

Notably, Crockett, whose recent controversial statements have attracted a great deal of attention and criticism, appeared to be escorted by a Capitol police officer despite previously advocating for the "defund the police movement," calling it a movement of "healing."

Crockett's remarks came during a nationwide call with the Tesla Takedown movement, a self-described "peaceful protest platform" calling for Tesla owners to sell their vehicles and for all to dump their stock in the EV provider.

"On March 29, it's my birthday," Crockett told the group in reference to a "Global Day of Action" intended to hit back at the company. 

"We know that we are peaceful, loving people, and this is not about violence," she added.

However, the continuing incidents of firebombing, vandalism and even a shooting at Tesla dealerships bring the peaceful nature of the anti-Tesla movement into question.

Amid the Justice Department's crackdown on the violence, three people accused of damaging Teslas and EV charging stations now face up to 20 years in prison for alleged "domestic terrorism."
