There’s been a rash of Swatting incidents in recent days against conservative media figures that has led to both the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and our new FBI Director to weigh in on it publicly.
The latest was FBI Director Kash Patel, who called it ‘morally reprehensible’ and said it will not be tolerated:
I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated.
We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes.
More updates to come.
Last night American Greatness wrote about this and explained who is getting swatted by leftist activists. They also highlight a statement by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin who said:
“Swatting is a violent criminal act,” Martin posted on X. If any perpetrators are discovered in the District of Columbia or originate from here, you will be arrested, we will put you in jail and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
Here’s more from AG:
Five conservative influencers have been swatted in recent days, as Democrats ramp up their invectives against President Donald Trump and DOGE chief Elon Musk amid their work to downsize the government and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.
Swatting is a form of domestic terrorism where someone makes a false report to emergency services, often targeting a political opponent, leading to a police Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team or other law enforcement response at the victim’s location. The malicious tactic can and has led to fatalities.
The victims this week include Info Wars reporter Chase Geiser, conservative radio talk show host Joe Pags, political commentator Gunther Eagleman, independent journalist Nick Sortor, and Trump impersonator Shawn Farash.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin released a statement Thursday night following the series of swatting attacks.
“Swatting is a violent criminal act,” Martin posted on X. If any perpetrators are discovered in the District of Columbia or originate from here, you will be arrested, we will put you in jail and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
Geiser was swatted twice within a twelve hour period, the first time Tuesday afternoon and again early Wednesday morning just before 2AM. He described the first incident on the Alex Jones Show, noting that he and his family weren’t at home when the police showed up at his house. Geiser said when he met the police in his driveway, they were still receiving 311 messages about his property. “So there was a campaign of swatting my property,” he told Jones.
After the second incident, the Info Wars reporter posted on X that “6 to 8 police officers used a PA system to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house.”
I was handcuffed in the middle of the street, presumably at gunpoint though I couldn’t tell because of the light being shined on my face.
I was then led into the house where my wife was woken up and we were informed that they received a call from someone pretending to be me and threatening to kill my family.
Conservative radio talk show host Joe Pags was also swatted early Wednesday morning.
According to the Joe Pags Show website, the talk show host was alerted by a security notification on his phone at 2:35 AM on Wednesday March 12th.
Checking his outdoor camera, he saw a chilling sight—an armed man at his front door. In that moment, his adrenaline kicked in. Thinking quickly, he called 911, where the operator confirmed his fears—someone had made a fake report, triggering the heavy police response.
“They’re targeting anyone who’s a conservative,” Pags said on his radio show Thursday. The talk show host said he reached out to FBI Director Kash Patel to request that the FBI investigate the recent spike in politically motivated swattings.
“The police are hip to what you’re doing,” Pags warned, calling out the perpetrators. “I could have died,” he added.
Overnight, family members of independent journalist Nick Sortor were also swatted.
“Both my dad and my sister were swatted tonight,” Sortor posted on X at 12:56 am Thursday morning. “A dozen cops attempted to kick my dad’s door in at gunpoint.”
This is literal f-cking terrorism. And the FBI should treat it as such. Before calling in the swat, this dumbshit sent my sister an email calling me a Nazi, of course. So the motive is clear.
In my dad’s case, the caller told police my dad was killing my entire family, requiring them to intervene with deadly force. This is nothing short of attempted murder. They wanted the police to kill my father. Unfortunately for the swatter, I WILL NOT stop. I WILL NOT shut up. And you WILL NOT win.
If anything, my family is behind me even more than they were before. Because they just got a first hand look at the forces I’m fighting with on a daily basis.
Your hate fuels me. I’m over the target. As President Trump says: FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.
Sortor told Alex Jones during an interview that he believes the left is getting desperate as it loses more and more power.
“There are going to be more wins and they can’t take the wins,” he said. “The vast majority of the American people don’t agree with anything they say … so the only thing they can do is to shut us up so we stop showing the American people what’s really going on and exposing the truth.”
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman was targeted a couple of hours after Sortor’s family members were swatted.
“The gloves are off. First off, my family is safe,” Eagleman wrote on X. “My house was just swatted. Some ignorant f-ck called in a fake hostage situation.”
