Marjorie Taylor Greene targeted by attempted swatting call for roughly 8th time, this one on Christmas Day

Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was the target of a swatting attempt at her Georgia residence on Christmas morning, the congresswoman and local police said, marking the latest instance of someone calling in a fake emergency to try to draw armed officers or SWAT teams to her home.

The Rome (Georgia) Police Department quickly verified that the call was a hoax and didn't send officers to the house, department spokesperson Kelly Madden said.

"I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn't have to deal with this," Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
