Congresswoman Greene targeted in Christmas swatting incident, investigation underway

Georgia police investigate Christmas Day swatting incident targeting Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Tyler Greene.

In a jingle bell twist on Christmas Day, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Tyler Greene found herself caught up in a swatting incident that left Georgia's finest scratching their heads. The incident, which police were swift to deem a prank, thankfully resulted in no officers being dispatched to the congresswoman's residence.

This festive fiasco wasn't the first tango with swatting for Green, as she revealed on social media that she had been targeted in approximately eight similar incidents in the past. Swatting, for the merry few who may not be acquainted with this peculiar prank, involves making a false emergency call with the intention of drawing a large-scale police response, often including heavily armed SWAT teams.
