Political harassment takes no days off.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Monday that she was “swatted” on Christmas Day, being victimized by a fake police report for the eighth time.

“I was just swatted,” the Georgia Republican wrote on X Monday. “This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here.”

Being “swatted” means that someone falsely reported an ongoing crime at your house, causing the police to show up. It isn’t a common outcome, but such incidents have resulted in gunfights or fatalities if the police or swatting victim do something “wrong.”

“My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this,” Ms. Greene wrote. “I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!”

Ms. Greene, a resident of Rome, Georgia, has previously accused left-wing activists of staging the repeated crime calls to her house.
She has recounted her previous times being swatted on the Right Side Broadcasting Network.

Last August, someone reported to the police that a male had been shot five times in a bathtub, with a female inside the home and possibly other children.

“This is what gets people killed. There have been multiple incidences just like this one where police ended up shooting someone because they believed they were responding to a call. And that’s what was happening to me,” Ms. Greene told the network.

The Washington Times has reached out to Ms. Greene’s office for comment.
