Natasha Cohen, 46, is a New York therapist who appears to be stuck in the denial stage of Kübler-Ross. After she was arrested in the latest case of political violence by the left, Cohen blamed Elon Musk for her actions, saying that she is “living in terror every day.” The rationalization is becoming a familiar refrain as the rise in political violence becomes undeniable. On Friday, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent and MSNBC Political Analyst Peter Baker came under fire for admitting that leftist violence is on the rise, but noting that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric “might excite people to take action.”
Cohen was caught on videotape (above) leaving a brick with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a Tesla and dumping trash on the car.
The therapist, who works with children, immediately reverted to one of her clients and blamed others for her actions. This was all Elon’s fault:
“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi…I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany. I’m truly terrified, because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”
In other words, she is a victim who felt compelled to terrorize neighbors. She is now facing hate crime charges.
In the meantime, a Florida woman joined the ranks of those attacking Teslas with a novel twist. Yamaris Marrero, 45, of Hallandale Beach, Florida, used a “large wad” of chewing gum to cause nearly $3,000 in damage to the EV’s door handle mechanism, police said, according to a local report. She was also charged with a hate crime.
