As reported earlier this week by several sources, conservative Representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted early Wednesday morning.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted about the incident on Wednesday.
“Swatting” is a term used to describe the action of making hoax phone calls to report serious crimes to emergency services. People who carry out a swatting prank call aim to fool emergency services into sending a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team to respond to the supposed emergency.”
Swatting is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening prank, where pranksters dupe a tactical team of heavily armed law enforcement officers into responding to a false report in the hopes that law enforcement and emergency services will swarm the innocent target’s home.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that it happened again on Thursday morning.
