Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was “swatted” early Wednesday in a prank that police say was due to her views on transgender rights.
“Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am,” the Georgia Republican wrote on Twitter.
“I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County. More details to come,” she added.
Debbie Burnett, the assistant chief of police in Rome, Ga., said the department was contacted early Wednesday with a report of “a subject being shot multiple times” at a local address.
