Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) made public allegations on social media of being swatted twice in recent days and receiving death threats, accusing federal law enforcement of an inadequate response to the alleged threat.
Swatting is falsely soliciting an emergency response from law enforcement in order to target a specific victim. Perpetrators commit this act by phoning emergency services like 911 and inventing a story about a hostage situation or a gunfight, to get a response team to go to a designated address.
