Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was “swatted” at her home in Rome, Georgia at 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, after a pro-trans extremist made a false 911 call to the police. Five officers were reportedly dispatched to Greene’s house in response to an alarming false report. In an interview later Monday, Green said she had immediately grabbed her gun upon hearing a ruckus outside her front door, but she thankfully put it down before she answered.
The term “swatting” refers to the illegal practice of calling the police to make a false report about dangerous and illegal activity in an attempt to get law enforcement to raid the home of an innocent person.
Greene took to Twitter later Wednesday to thank law enforcement for handling the situation professionally.
“Last night, I was swatted just after 1 a.m.,” Greene wrote Wednesday morning. “I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County.”
The swatter reportedly made a voice-masked call later on to the police department, stating that he was upset about Greene’s stance on “transgender youth rights.”
Authorities say they are investigating the 911 call.
High profile conservatives have long been targets of the dangerous practice, including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon just a few weeks ago, youtuber Tim Pool, and Human Events reporter Jack Posobiec.
Greene elaborated further on what happened on the Charlie Kirk Show, telling Posobiec, who was hosting the show, that “it was a scary situation,” and something she “never expected.”
“This is basically political terrorism,” Greene said, noting that Posobiec knows what it feels like because he has been swatted as well.
The left’s latest trick.
Trannys should be culled from the herd.
The police don’t have caller ID?
So they know who did it??? Arrest forthcoming???
And of course SWAT CONTINUES to take the word of an anonymous caller over their own discrete verification.
Makes me mad as hell these swat callers are not caught or prosecuted.
Makes them look stupid as hell.
They’re culling themselves, unless they find a way to breed.
They can be found breeding in schools.
The RATS need to get their out of control sexual deviants under control. America has just about had all of their crap we want.
“They’re culling themselves, unless they find a way to breed.”
The have alternatives like recruiting and grooming. Not sure about Trans and adoption, but I can’t image anyone would stop them in this insane world we have now.
“Makes them look stupid as hell.”
Why would you ever think that gun-toting Goobermint teat-suckers with a penchant for bullying and a displaced Hero Complex are anything other than dumb as a box of rocks?
If they wanted to know who did it, they would know.
If they wanted to punish the Swatters, they would.
If they wanted to Serve & Protect the people, they would.
But they don’t, so they don’t.
The good allow the bad to remain instead of getting rid of them. All Goobermnint Employees do the same.
They are NOT on your side.
Isn’t this attack on Greene a felony?
> So they know who did it??? Arrest forthcoming???
This is a rhetorical question, right?
This was a SWAT attack on a Conservative, so different rules apply. The caller explained its reasoning for the attack. Nothing more is necessary, and no futher action will be taken.
No need to qualify it. It's terrorism.
Why couldn’t the police just call the house before swatting the place.
I guess the truth of that position depends on where you live.
However, even without a caller ID other than the phone's serial number, it should still be possible to get a tower antenna or multiple ones to triangulate on the location. Also, that phone should be tagged (with warrant) so if it is turned on again the police are immediately notified of it's location because every phone regularly contacts the network so the phone companies know which tower it is on and where they move to.
swatting someone isn't a prank - it is more like attempted murder via cop and in this case pure political terrorism.
They just did this to Steve Bannon as well. Our opponents are evil. But anyone who has been paying attention has known that for a long, long time now.
“They’re culling themselves, unless they find a way to breed.”
The way they ‘breed’ is by convincing impressionable children to question their gender. They are insane to a fault, and should not be allowed anywhere near children. Likewise for their “allies” in the teachers union.
Precisely the reason I don't put a Trump sticker on my car. The Left is lawless.
