Conservative Comic Alleges Fellow Stand-up Vandalized His Tesla
'Gutfeld' regular Jeff Dye shares screen shots from car showing perpetrator

Jeff Dye doesn’t shy away from his conservative beliefs.
His stand-up set may be mainstream and apolitical, but he appears on Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” and shares right-leaning views on social media.
So when someone scrawled a nasty word on his Tesla after a recent comedy appearance, he wasn’t afraid to share the information on X. He also called out the person whom he thinks wrote “Douche” on his car.
Fellow comic Laura Kingtlinger. His proof? Snapshots taken by his Tesla capturing the incident.
Performed on a show with a comic I’ve never met. Her name is Laura Kightlinger @KingKightlinger . She seemed nice enough. We didn’t talk and she left before I went up. I’m assuming she didn’t know it was my Tesla she wrote “Douche” on my Tesla

Dye tagged Kightlinger on his post and shared what he said happened.

Kightlinger’s X feed isn’t very active, so it’s possible she didn’t see the post in question. She did repost the gig in question after months of inactivity.

Another twist? Social media users suggest the man watching in the background is Greg Fitzsimmons, a comedian who appeared on the same lineup that night.
Fitzsimmons appears regularly on “The Adam Carolla Show,” but his politics are to the Left of that podcast’s host.

Dye’s post doesn’t say how the comedienne allegedly vandalized his Tesla. Did she use her finger to scrawl the offensive word or use a sharp object?
Either way, it’s another example of Elon Derangement Syndrome.
