Vice President J.D. Vance said "terrorism is not cheap" as he speculated that the continuing vandalism of Tesla automobiles is being coordinated.
He said Thursday during an interview on "The Vince Show" that the focus should be on "the guy at the top writing the checks," not on the "foot soldiers" trashing the cars.
"My guess is that if we do get to the bottom of this, we're going to find out that there are some very crazy, very deranged, but very wealthy left-wing people who are funding this stuff," he said.
Tesla owner Elon Musk has become a target as he cuts federal spending and slashes the workforce at Trump's behest.
