U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was “swatted” on Christmas Day.  That’s the term used for someone prank calling for emergency services at someone else’s address.  Rep. Greene says it is “about the eighth time” she has been the victim of “swatting” with someone contacting the police under false pretenses, claiming a serious crime was being committed at her home in Rome.

The Rome Police Department said it contacted Greene’s private security detail after Monday’s call to confirm she was safe and that there was no emergency at her residence. The call was then determined to be a swatting attempt, so the police response was canceled en route, Madden explained.

“We determined before our personnel could get to her location that there was no emergency and there was no reason to respond,” she said. “Her security detail had it all under control, and there actually was nothing going on.”

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