Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R) home was swatted in Christmas morning, the Georgia congresswoman revealed on Monday.
“I was just swatted,” Greene wrote in a post on X/Twitter. “This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this. I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!”
Swatting is making a false report of a crime in progress to result in a police response usually at a business at a private residence.
Major Rodney Bailey of the police department in Rome, Georgia told NBC News that someone had called the suicide hotline claiming that he had shot his girlfriend at Greene’s address was going to kill himself.
Officers contacted Greene’s security team and were told that they did not need to respond to her home. The police response was subsequently canceled.
