Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘swatted’ on Christmas Day with her family: ‘The 8th time’
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene received an unwelcome Christmas surprise Monday — with cops getting called to the Georgia Republican’s home in the latest incident of “swatting” harassment against her.
A spokesperson for the Rome Police Department confirmed to The Post that the 911 dispatch center received an emergency call to Greene’s address shortly before noon.
An individual called a suicide hotline claiming to have shot his girlfriend and threatened to kill himself, according to police.
“Our team in their response … coordinated with her security detail and it was determined that there was no emergency and that she was safe,” the spokesperson explained. “Our response was actually canceled en route.”
“I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time,” Greene posted on X. “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 a harassment tactic in which pranksters report a faux emergency to law enforcement to dispatch officers to a victim’s address.
Many conservatives have fallen victim to swatting. Activist Jack Posobiec claimed his parents were swatted on Saturday.
In August 2022, someone called police to Greene’s house, using a computer-generated voice to claim someone there had been shot.
That incident appeared to be related to anger over Greene’s position on “transgender youth rights.”
In a subsequent post Monday, Greene revealed that she received threats last week from a man who wanted to fight her.
“Fight me, big mouth. I’ll f—ing smash your brains out on a curb. Have a nice time looking over your shoulder s—bag,” the individual allegedly messaged her Dec. 21.
The man then claimed he was being recruited by the FBI.
Greene further alleged that she went to Capitol Police with the messages and that the man has yet to be arrested.
Capitol Police sent her an email noting the individual’s responses to inquiries about the threats.
“The outright absurdity of this email response and the fact that they have not arrested this guy is shocking, thankfully I’m a gun owner,” Greene vented.
“I will never stop fighting for what is right and I will always put America first! No matter what or who attacks me.”
Greene also teased that she intends to introduce legislation to crack down on swatting.
The Post contacted both the FBI and Capitol Police for comment.
Greene has been an ardent backer of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election cycle and has even mused about being his running mate.
