U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Sunday warned a congresswoman over comments she made about President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Elon Musk, amid protests and attacks targeting car company Tesla, of which Musk is CEO.

“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi told Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” referring to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).
