Georgia congresswoman has been targeted multiple times by prank calls, has a security detail.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reported her home was “swatted” Monday on Christmas with a fake emergency call, as she praised police for their professionalism as they responded to the latest in dangerous pranks targeting the Georgia Republican.
“I was just swatted. 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,” she wrote on the X social media platform.
A spokesperson for the Rome, Ga., police told The Hill that multiple calls were made through a crisis hotline in both Rome, N.Y., and Rome, Ga., requesting emergency services to Greene’s home.
“While en route to the address, personnel with the Rome (GA) Police Department coordinated with Greene’s security detail to ensure her safety as well as determine that there was in fact no emergency at the address,” the spokesperson said.
In Rome, GA?
I bet this harassment of an elected Federal office is a Federal crime. I also bet the only thing the FBI will do is laugh at her misfortune.

Yes. Laugh at the right, but be selectively outraged and motivated if it happens to the left.
What do you think would happen if someone like Schumer was swatted over a dozen times?
That’s basically a rhetorical question because everyone knows the answer.
Local LE doesn’t have the ability to trackdown swatters, because of the technlogies they use.
Actually, attempted murder is the more appropriate charge.
This happens with the blessing of the FBI. We know that the NSA tracks all Americans with every phone call and text message.
First of all, by admission, the phone calls are traced to point of origin, written in this article, Rome NY and Rome GA. It’s laughable to think that the perpetrators cannot be found, given voice recognition and phone GPS data, even if the call isn’t made from a cell phone, usually the perps have their personal phones with them at all times. It should be very trivial to find these people and prosecute, but it’s (D)ifferent for certain victims.
Did you read the article?the police in Rome NY were contacted by swatters as well.
You are correct twice. Rome NY and they are frigging geniuses.
They have done it to Roger Stone, people who appeared at school board meetings, Rick Scott, Brandon Williams (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)...
Calls were made to police in both locations.
