Georgia GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed on Monday that she fell victim to an illegal prank known as swatting during Christmas, with her family present. She shared unredacted screenshots of a message she received, suggesting she should be skinned to create a parasol.
Earlier that day, Greene, who recently criticized Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, mentioned being swatted for the eighth time while celebrating Christmas with her family. Despite the distressing incident, she commended her local police and expressed gratitude for their support during the holiday season.
Later, Greene connected the swatting incident to a death threat received by her boyfriend, Brian Glenn. The threat referenced infamous psychopath killer Gein, who crafted items from his victims’ skin. Greene highlighted the gravity of the threat, expressing concern about the lack of an arrest.
In her statement, Greene drew parallels between the handling of the swatting incident and the FBI’s approach to January 6 rioters. She questioned the double standard in treating individuals making threats against her and President Trump, emphasizing the apparent contradiction in the FBI’s actions and the recruitment claim made by the threatening individual.
The unsettling situation raises questions about the safety of public figures and the varying responses to threats, prompting Greene to call attention to the need for consistent law enforcement practices.
