Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green says she was ‘swatted’ at her home

Green made the announcement on Twitter and thanked law enforcement for handling the situation professionally. The term “swatting” refers to the illegal practice of making false police reports in an attempt to get law enforcement to raid the home of an innocent person.

“Last night, I was swatted just after 1 a.m.,” Green wrote on Wednesday morning. “I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County.”
