Report: Person Angry With Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Stance on Transgenderism Sparked ‘Swatting’ Incident

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was targeted by a “swatting” incident due to her views on transgenderism, according to a report.

On Wednesday morning, the Georgia Congresswoman tweeted, “Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am.”

Greene’s tweet refers to the practice of “swatting,” which Cambridge Dictionary describes as “the action 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 Rome News-Tribune reported, citing 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. The caller also stated there was a woman inside the home and possibly children with her. When officers responded Greene assured the officers there was no issue at the home.”

The police report states, “After we cleared the call and went back in service, Rome-Floyd 911 received a call from the suspect, claiming responsibility for the incident and explaining his/her motives.”

“It was a computer generated voice. They explained they were upset about Ms. Greene’s stance on ‘trans-gender youth’s rights,’ and stated they were trying to ‘swat’ her,” it added.
