Greene tweeted Wednesday that "she was swatted just after 1 a.m." and expressed her gratitude to the Rome Police Department in Floyd County, Georgia. On Wednesday morning, police confirmed the swatting incident in a press release that included a redacted report on the incident.
"Swatting" often refers to the harassment or deception of emergency personnel in order to get authorities to go to a particular residence.

This is just the beginning. There'll be more harassment. They're trying to p!ss conservatives off so bad that somebody does something and they can say CW II is on, and send in the heavies.
The remedy IMHO: Satyagraha. Civil rights movement protest songs done over in country-western style, human chain kumbaya-ing to banjo music. Some creative civil disobedience that forces them to do the reacting.

Childish, petty methods of the Dem.

If the prankster used a burner phone, they can’t be traced. But they would only do that if they’re smart. What are the odds?

This is called the "bottom up, top down" strategy. It's a Cloward and Piven gambit.

Just like Alec Baldwin didn’t know the gun was loaded.
Irresponsible rhetoric by Brandon is responsible for this swatting of MTG, whether he knew about it or not. Same way Bernie Sanders’ acolyte was drive to shoot up a baseball practice by his inflammatory statements.
Let’s turn their games back on them.
