Marjorie Greene was swatted, not once, but two days in a row.
Now, in the most recent tweet about this incident,
Greene just simply stated, swatted again last night.
And in the previous tweet regarding the swatting that occurred the day
before she said, last night, I was swatted just after one 1 am.
I can't express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome,
Floyd County.
More details to come.
Now, here's what happened during the first call.
Okay, Wednesday morning police officers in Rome responded shortly
after 1 a.m.ET to a "911 call reference to a subject being shot
multiple times," said Rome Police assistant chief Debbie Burnett.
Upon arriving at the address,
"they discovered this was the home of Marjorie Greene," Burnett said.
Green "assured the officers there was no issue and
the call was determined to be false call commonly known as 'swatting.'".
and when it comes to the second call, there are details about that as well.
So the 911 dispatch for Rome/Floyd County then "received a second call
from the suspect who was using a computer generated voice stating that he/she was
upset about Greene's political view on transgender youth rights," Burnett said.
The call "was received on what appeared to be a suicide crisis line
from an internet chat," the statement said.
Police also said it was "confirmed this was a second false report.".
Now Marjorie Greene has put out other tweets blaming the left for
what happened to her.
Look, to be clear, I don't know for sure who did this, who's behind it,
I don't know what their political motivations are.
What I do know is, regardless of what you feel about any particular person,
including this terrible member of Congress,
you shouldn't be putting anyone's life in danger by swatting them.
Because we know what swatting situations are like,
we have done a story about, multiple stories at this point,
about a transgender streamer, couples who's been swatted several times and
has now moved as a result of that just to keep herself safe.
It's wrong and people shouldn't be doing it.
You're endangering people's lives and that's not the way you win people over in
the country, so that's not how you win politically.
But here's what Greene said, if this is the war the left wants,
this is the war the left will get.
I will never stop protecting children and defending their innocence.
We have to immediately pass H.R.8731,
the Protect Children's innocence Act, to end the mutilation of kids.
And so, she thinks she's protecting kids by driving transgender youth to
suicide by demonizing them and wanting to deny them gender affirming health care.
That's what she's doing, that's the reality of the situation.
But you don't win on those issues by swatting her,
you win on those issues by fighting back politically.
>> Yeah, conservative online today issued this challenge to me.
I anxiously await you condemning Marjorie Taylor Greene getting swatted twice.
>> Dude, can I just say real quick Cenk, and this goes for everyone,
including people on the left, okay?
If you don't watch the show,
how about you shut up about what you think about the show, okay?
I got like a billion messages, what about police brutality?
As if we don't cover police brutality on a regular basis,
if you don't watch the show, shut your mouth, how about that?
Go ahead.
>> So, I condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene getting swatted twice,
while that was so hard to at this point.
Yeah, we're a billion percent against funding, you know why?
First of all it's wrong and it's physically very, very dangerous,
that's the number one reason why.
Okay, and it's a crime and it should be a crime.
Number two reason why is because the left gets it 1000 times more.
And so like she said there, if this is a war that left wants, no,
the left hasn't wanted this war at all.
You guys have been doing it for about a decade now,
at least two people on the left.
So it happened to Tim Pool apparently and and now it's happening to
Marjorie Taylor Greene and they're like, my God, somebody started a war.
No, you guys started this ten years ago,
we've been asking you to cut the crap out the entire time.
You're like, whoa, wait, kids just can't stand some strolling [LAUGH] almost got
your murdered [LAUGH] we're just trolls.
That's like right wing one-on-one, so goddamn right, we want to swatting to end,
its mental and it doesn't make it any better to do it to a right winger.
The only silver lining here is,
you can do anything you want to the left in this country and nobody cares at all.
The cops don't care, the media doesn't care, don't care.
It happens once to a right winger, now it's twice to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
My guess is, all of a sudden this is a national emergency and
everybody will be talking about, we gotta fix swatting, we gotta fix swatting.
I mean, my God, it happened to a white person who's a right winger, my God,
did you guys know the swatting exists?
I never knew this.
So now, maybe we'll actually get some action to fix it now that it
happened to someone on the right way.
>> The other thing I wanted to just quickly mention,
even though we don't know who is behind the swatting and
it could be multiple people, it's happened multiple times.
The Daily Dot did its own little investigation into this and
they were able to draw the calls back to Kiwi farms, which is known as a right
wing forum that's used for doxing, for swatting, for all of that.
So, again, that doesn't necessarily prove that it's a right wing thing,
but it's worth mentioning.
>> No, it's totally worth mentioning,
because they then later called in the person doxing with a robotic voice, so
you couldn't tell their voice, and said they did it for transgender causes.
Really, the person doing the doxing is going to tell you their political
motivation, I've literally never seen that in any other swatting incident.
And then they use a mechanical voice so you can't pick up who they are.
And it turns out it's Kiwi farms a right wing place.
What a shock.
So why did they do it if they did it well so that they could blame the left and
they could get super, by the way you morons,
you could have gotten your beloved marjorie, taylor Greene killed.
It's not a joke, it's real.
She's not wrong.
When she said I grabbed my gun because I thought there was an intruder at the door
and she opened the door with a gun.
Yeah the cops could have easily killed her.
And you thought you were making a clever troll thing.
And then we'll blame the left Even though you're the swatters, 98% of the times
