Marjorie Taylor Greene said that on Monday, there was a report of a fictitious crime at her residence. This is the most recent in a string of instances that seem to be directed towards her.
“I just got swatted.” I think this is the eighth time. I’m here for Christmas with my family. “This shouldn’t be happening to my amazing local police officers,” the woman wrote in a post on X, the platform that was formerly known as Twitter.
Greene continued by saying that her family was having a wonderful Christmas and that she thanked the local police.
A Rome, Georgia, Police Department spokesperson stated, “While en route to the address, personnel coordinated with Greene’s security detail to ensure her safety as well as determine that there was, in fact, no emergency at the address.”
They said the address claiming the need for emergency services pinged to Greene’s address.
“While en route to the address, personnel with the Rome (GA) Police Department coordinated with Greene’s security detail to ensure her safety as well as determine that there was no emergency at the address,” the spokesperson said.
Swatting incidents have occurred at the controversial Georgia Republican’s home since last year. One happened in August 2022 when a caller claimed a shooting was happening at Greene’s home, and another happened the next day when a caller hinted they may have shot their family.
The caller from the first incident last August said in a computer-generated voice in a later call to officials that they were upset with Greene’s position on the rights of transgender youth. The Hill has reached out to local police for comment and additional information about the latest incident.

Since last year, there have been occurrences of swatting at the residence of the notorious Georgia Republican. Two incidents occurred in August 2022: one in which a caller stated there was a shooting at Greene’s residence, and another the following day in which a caller implied they might have shot members of their family.
In subsequent contact with officials, the caller from the initial incident in August of last year expressed their displeasure with Greene’s stance on the rights of transgender youngsters in a voice manufactured by a machine. The Hill has contacted the local police to inquire further about the most recent incident and for a statement.
