At the residence of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, police responded to yet another fake 911 call
The Republican congresswoman had received two “swatting” calls in two days
Last week, Greene introduced a bill in Congress
The suspect made a phone call through what looked to be a suicide crisis line on the internet
Greene was approached at her front door by the officers who had gone to her home to explain the issue
The inquiry is still ongoing, according to the department, which is cooperating with the U.S. Capitol Police
The suspect “stated that they were angry over Ms. Greene’s position on ‘trans-gender youth’s rights,’”
Concerns about threats against prominent political individuals and election officials have increased in the wake of the tragedy
Threats against members of Congress have increased by 107% this year compared to 2020
The Georgia Republican has consistently voiced opposition to transgender rights.
