(Congress Report) – Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed on Monday, Christmas Day, she was once again the victim of swatting, marking the eighth time it has happened to her since becoming a congressional representative. This resulted in her family celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ by having a very unexpected and not exactly welcome intrusion of local law enforcement. These “pranks” are extremely dangerous, having resulted in many injuries and several deaths.
“I was just swatted,” Greene proclaimed in a post published on X, according to The Western Journal.
MTG then honored her local law enforcement department saying, “My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this.”
As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, the swatting incident comes several days after a crazed individual made an extremely graphic death threat against Greene and her current boyfriend, Brian Glenn. Radical leftists are absolutely unhinged and capable of horrific acts of violence, something that has become clear in recent years with a number of incidents — the shooting at a Nashville Christian school, the congressional baseball game, and others come to mind — being perpetrated by far-left activists.
“‘Swatting’ refers to the insidious practice of making prank emergency calls that alert law enforcement to nonexistent threats. The purpose is to terrorize victims by sending heavily-armed SWAT teams to their residences for no reason,” the WJ explained. “For instance, a prank caller might tell law enforcement that a shooting has occurred at the victim’s residence. Heavily-armed law-enforcement officials then arrive at the residence and follow all the protocols of a dangerous situation.”
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.
I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!

Things can go wrong pretty quickly in one of these situations. Not to mention the trauma it causes those who are victims of the “prank.” I keep putting that term in quotes because a prank is generally harmless and a bit of fun that both participants end up being amused by. There’s nothing amusing about swatting.
“Catturd — a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump and an account with more than 2.1 million followers on X — reported another swatting incident at his home on Friday,” the article disclosed.
“I was just swatted again … the local cops are great and know what’s going on now. All is well at the Catturd ranch. Still not going to shut up,” Catturd stated on X. A follow-up post included a photograph of the user’s cat logo sporting his trademark glasses and a middle finger.
“Dom Lucre, another prominent pro-Trump account with more than 889,000 followers, reported a swatting incident last month at his residence in Nashville, Tennessee,” the piece continued.
“To everyone that wished me well and prayed for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God could not have put a better support system in my life. Let’s get back to work. We have a nation to make great again,” Dom Lucre declared.
What makes the situation even worse is that the FBI has done absolutely nothing to stop individuals from participating in the act of swatting, which isn’t surprising when you look at how the progressive deep state has weaponized federal law enforcement against conservatives.
“In a series of lengthier posts later on Christmas Day, the congresswoman decried the FBI’s apparent lack of interest in arresting a man who made gruesome death threats against her and Glenn. The first of those posts featured screenshot images of explicit threats from someone named Ben McLean,” the report divulged.
Greene then said that the FBI and Capitol Police did next to nothing, merely contacting McLean and questioning him then emailing his answers to the congresswoman.
“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. But compare it to how the FBI and DOJ treats J6’ers, Pres Trump, and their political enemies,” Greene posted.
Of course the guy is going to deny intent to harm anyone as he doesn’t want to end up in prison. The fact that federal law enforcement did pretty much nothing to ensure the safety of the congresswoman and her boyfriend is unacceptable.
“The FBI can do so many things, has even abused FISA to spy on hundreds of thousands of Americans, but can not figure out who wants me killed by a hail of bullets fired by a SWAT team responding to murder suicide calls supposedly coming from me,” she went on to write.
“I will be introducing legislation to track down swatters. Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes for me and my family,” Greene later remarked.
And after today, I have been swatted 8 times but the FBI can’t seem to figure out who is responsible for the swatting and says the law doesn’t allow them to track them down.
The FBI can do so many things, has even abused FISA to spy on hundreds of thousands of Americans, but can…

The Western Journal brought up an excellent solution for the swatting problem, suggesting those who engage in the practice be charged with attempted murder. I love that idea. We ought to get on the ball and start doing it. This nonsense needs to end before more people get hurt.

Charging them with attempted murder is an idea I will support.
All of this swatting crap should have a prison sentence attached to it. Stop giving these people a slap on the hand, this is nothing to be played with. These people are sick with major mental issues. No one should be made to tolerate this. Take them out of society, period.
