Two Republican U.S. House Representatives and multiple conservative commentators were the targets of swatting efforts over the Christmas holiday.
“Swatting” is a malicious act where false reports of violence are illegally made in bad faith by criminal actors, prompting police to be summoned to one’s home. Perpetrators hope the call leads to an armed confrontation where the swatting victim could potentially be killed or at the very least, left terrified.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) reported being swatted last Thursday on Dec. 21, and again on Christmas Day, making it her eighth swatting.
I was swatted this morning on Christmas Day and a few days ago – Thursday Dec 21st. we received this death threat where this man is saying I will be shot in the head and skinned to make a “parasol” making a reference to Gein, who was a psychopath killer who would make things out… pic.twitter.com/iW8JvOSJLa

“I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time,” Rep. Greene described on X. “On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this.”
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.
I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) also revealed he was swatted on Christmas.
“Our home was swatted this afternoon. Thanks to the Deputies and Troopers who contacted me before arriving. They left with homemade cookies and spiced nuts! Merry Christmas everyone!” reported Rep. Williams on Monday.
Popular pro-Trump conservative X user CatTurd announced he’d been “swatted” on Dec. 22.
I was just swatted again … the local cops are great and know what's going on now.
All is well at the Catturd ranch.
Still not going to shut up. pic.twitter.com/dtAM2DzQcx

Human Events editor Jack Posobiec declared his parents had been the victim of a swatting attempt after unknown perpetrators told police Posobiec “had shot [his] wife and sons in the kitchen.”
They told the officers that I had shot my wife and sons in the kitchen

It is clear federal law is currently inadequate on swatting incidents whether to schools, public figures, or Members of Congress
Such law must be updated
In addition, Congress must address the total failure of federal law enforcement agencies to deal with these violent threats
— Jack Poso
After producing a video analyzing the MTG and Posobiec swattings, conservative-leaning commentator Styxhexenhammer666 was himself swatted.
Here’s the video Styx put out prior to being swatted:
Styx also produced a subsequent video post-swatting, declaring, “Leftists tried to swat my home and failed like the scum they are.”
As conservative commentator Joey Mannarino put it, “They want to get us killed. Literally. This is who we’re fighting against.”
An ABC News video report from 2019 detailed the 20-year prison sentence of serial ‘swatter’ Tyler Barriss, whose false report caused police to fatally shoot an innocent man.
So 2 high-profile X users were Swatted earlier. It reminds me of this one case from a few years ago. Don't swat. It's not funny for anybody. pic.twitter.com/5OkBzoCgO1

It remains to be seen whether those responsible for these heinous crimes, endangering and disrupting the lives of many, will ever be brought to justice.
