Controversial Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reported being subjected to a “swatting” incident for the eighth time on Christmas Day while celebrating with her family.
“Swatting” involves falsely alerting law enforcement, often leading to a SWAT team response under the belief of imminent danger. These emotionally charged situations pose risks to both responding officers and individuals present, while also diverting crucial resources and potentially delaying responses to genuine emergencies in the community.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) shared on Christmas morning: “I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time,” Greene posted on X. “On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this.”
MTG added: “I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!”

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!
Residing in Rome, Georgia, Greene joins a list of conservative officials targeted by fake emergency calls. In August 2022, authorities, spurred by an AI-generated call, rushed to her home under the false pretense of a shooting. This incident was allegedly connected to her stance on “transgender youth rights.
The most recent swatting incident is speculated to be linked to Greene’s recent remarks about Hunter Biden refusing to testify and her advocacy for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
