‘Someone Wanted to Get Me Killed’: Rep. Greene Responds to Being ‘Swatted’ 2 Nights in a Row

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was sound asleep in her Floyd County home when the doorbell and knocks on her front door woke her up.

  • At her front porch were five police officers with their guns ready. They told the confused congresswoman that they were responding to a report of a fatal shooting at her house-a man shot five times in a bathtub, with a woman and children still in the residence-indicating violence could escalate.

Second fake shooting call

  • Made through an internet chat
  • A person claiming to be Wayne Greene said they "came out as transgender," had shot their family members, and threatened to turn the gun on themself
  • Two officers went to Greene's home and alerted her to the situation at her front door

Greene expressed gratitude for the local law enforcement's handling of the incidents

  • She has deep trust in the local officers and feels "very safe" with them
  • But such an abuse of police resources has to stop, Greene said, noting that her local police department is now hiring an additional 18 officers
  • The mainstream media has been "complicit" in what happened to her
  • Recent news headlines have painted her as "targeting trans kids," which is untrue
