Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’s ‘Not Backing Down’ After Being Swatted By Trans Extremist


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was “swatted” at her home in Rome, Georgia at 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, after a pro-trans extremist made a false 911 call to the police. Five officers were reportedly dispatched to Greene’s house in response to an alarming false report. In an interview later Monday, Green said she had immediately grabbed her gun upon hearing a ruckus outside her front door, but she thankfully put it down before she answered.

The term “swatting” refers to the illegal practice of calling the police to make a false report about dangerous and illegal activity in an attempt to get law enforcement to raid the home of an innocent person.

“This is basically political terrorism,” Greene said, noting that Posobiec knows what it feels like because he has been swatted as well.

“I just want to say this. There’s no way I’m backing down,” she added, in reference to legislation she recently introduced that riled up the trans community.

MTG explained that her “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” would make it “a felony to perform any kind of so-called gender affirming care, which is really genital mutilation, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers,” calling such procedures “absolute child abuse.”

She pointed out that the swatting came just one week after she introduced the legislation, which she says has garnered “massive support” among Republican lawmakers.

“Everyone knows what a dangerous threat this is to our children,” MTG said. “If this is the war the left wants to bring, then they can...
