Rep. Greene's Daughters Targeted in Latest Wave of Swatting Attacks

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said both her daughters' homes were "swatted" on the same day, the latest in a string of such incidents targeting her.

This occurred just days after Greene herself experienced what she estimated was her 8th swatting incident on Christmas Day at her home.

Swatting refers to false emergency calls that prompt a major law enforcement response, often targeting public figures.

Other officials like Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Brandon Williams, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu also recently experienced swatting attacks.

In June, the FBI launched a national database to track swatting incidents, which Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called "dangerous, disturbing and downright terrifying."
