Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said in a post on X she and her family were “swatted” on Christmas morning, marking the latest instance in which someone allegedly called in a fake emergency at the controversial lawmaker’s address—though police say they ultimately didn’t rush to her home after the hoax call.
In a tweet just before 11 a.m. EST, Greene said she was “swatted” for “like the 8th time.”
Greene praised her local police, calling them the “GREATEST” and adding they “shouldn’t have to deal with this.”
Greene did not elaborate on the alleged incident, but swatting typically involves a prank caller who falsely reports a violent crime to police with the goal of getting heavily-armed SWAT teams to respond to someone’s home.
Police in Rome, Georgia, confirmed to NBC News that a person in Rome, New York, called the suicide hotline and said he shot his girlfriend at Greene’s address in Georgia and was threatening to commit suicide.
Police were not sent to Greene’s home, the department told NBC News, after her security detail told officers they didn’t need to respond.
