Last night Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted in the middle of the night by someone who apparently had it out for her.
- Thankfully, it appears to not have been successful.
- We've seen this swatting technique used against conservatives for a long time.
- It was used against Erick Erickson many times.
- More recently it's been used against conservative podcaster Tim Pool.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene SWATTED at Her Georgia Home at 1AM After Fake Shooting Call By Pro-Trans
Local newspaper reports state:
- According to a Rome Police Department report, Rome police officers responded to a 911 call on Wednesday at 01:03 a.m. which led them to initially believe a man who had been shot multiple times in the bathtub at Greene's home.
- When officers responded Greene assured the officers there was no issue at the home.
Swatting is the act of making a false report of a serious emergency so that a SWAT team (a group of officers trained to deal with dangerous situations) will go to a person's home, by someone who wants to frighten, upset, or cause problems for that person.
- The act usually involves heavily armed police.
- Annual swatting incidents have climbed from roughly 400 in 2011 to more than 1,000 in 2019
