Anti-Trump therapist arrested for vandalizing Tesla in Jewish NYC neighborhood claims she is 'living in terror'

A woman who left a brick on top of a Cybertruck in New York City with a swastika as well as the word "Nazi" written across it has been identified as a left-wing family therapist and blamed Elon Musk for her actions as she was arrested. When she was detained, she relayed to police that she made the "mistake" because she is "living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany.” 

Natasha Cohen, 46, who also goes by Carrie, was arraigned on hate-crime charges on Saturday evening, according to the New York Post. She was then released on her own recognizance. She has a private practice where she works with children, adolescents, and their families in therapy sessions. 

According to her Teachers Pay Teachers profile, she sells resources to help kids who have ADHD, body dysmorphia issues, as well as anxiety. She also has "advanced training in maternal mental health," her webpage states. In addition to this, her online presence shows that she is opposed to President Donald Trump. Authorities have said that Cohen placed the brick with the swastika on top of a windshield of a Cybertruck found in a Jewish neighborhood as well as dumped a bag of trash on top of the car, and she was caught doing so on camera, police said.

“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi,” Cohen said when she was being arrested on April 12, police documents stated. “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," she added at the time. 

Last week, Cohen was spotted going into an apartment complex, where the units are priced between $780,000 and $1.1 million. When she was approached by reporters at the complex, she only replied, "No comment" as she walked into the building.

The allegations against Cohen occur as there have been a number of violent attacks on Tesla cars, dealerships, and charging stations around the country from extremist left-wing agitators reacting to the work Musk is doing with the Trump administration.
