Fox News host Harris Faulkner floated the possibility of using the death penalty on people who vandalize Tesla cars, facilities, or infrastructure.
Faulkner made the remarks during a Thursday interview with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
"What happens if there's someone in one of these cars, they blow up?" the Fox News host asked. "That becomes murder, or worse, terrorism plus."
"And I know that on January 20th, the president signed through an executive order restoring the death penalty," she continued. "Do you think this sort of thing, and I hate to think it, people leave their children and pets in cars... This is deadly, dangerous stuff these liberal protesters are playing with."
Leavitt did not rule out capital punishment for Tesla vandalism.

"I can tell you is that President Trump condemns this violence, and he is determined to restore law and order in our country, and he will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those who are engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company, Tesla dealerships, Tesla employees, and also innocent Americans who have chosen to drive these vehicles," the press secretary vowed. "The Trump derangement syndrome from the left is on true display with these attacks."
"It is getting dangerous, and the White House wholeheartedly condemns it," she added.
