Swattings follow spate of similar incidents carried out against various conservatives over Christmas holiday.
The family of former Republican Florida Governor Rick Scott and the daughters of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) were the victims of “swatting” incidents on Wednesday, adding to the growing list of conservatives similarly targeted in recent days.
Scott, who currently serves as a Republican Senator for Florida, reported the incident happened at his Naples home on Thursday, saying, “Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards ‘swatted’ my home in Naples.”
“These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family,” Scott wrote on X.
Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards “swatted” my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family.
Ann & I want to thank @NaplesPolice & @CollierSheriff for all they do to keep us safe.

Rep. Greene also revealed in an X post Thursday that “Both my daughter’s houses just got swatted today.”
Both my daughter’s houses just got swatted today.
Big thanks to the police who responded! We appreciate you and support you!
Whoever is doing this, you are going to get caught and it won’t be funny to you anymore.@FBI

“Whoever is doing this, you are going to get caught and it won’t be funny to you anymore,” the Republican firebrand added, tagging the FBI in her post.
The “swattings,” which involve perpetrators making false reports to elicit a police response which they hope becomes fatal for the swatting victim, follow a spate of similar incidents carried out against various conservatives over the Christmas holiday.
Rep. Greene was personally the victim of two swatting attempts over the past two weeks, including on Christmas. Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) also reported being swatted on Christmas Day.
I was swatted this morning on Christmas Day and a few days ago – Thursday Dec 21st. we received this death threat where this man is saying I will be shot in the head and skinned to make a “parasol” making a reference to Gein, who was a psychopath killer who would make things out… pic.twitter.com/iW8JvOSJLa

UPDATE: Capitol Police & local police are investigating the Swatting incident at our home on this Christmas Day.
Thankful for law enforcement working today (& every day). 5 cars responded to our home.
The deputies & troopers were polite, professional, & prompt. God bless them. https://t.co/bGuTPhiH3I

Popular pro-Trump conservative X user CatTurd announced he’d been “swatted” on Dec. 22, and Human Events editor Jack Posobiec also reported his parents had been the victim of a swatting attempt after unknown perpetrators told police Posobiec “had shot [his] wife and sons in the kitchen.”
I was just swatted again … the local cops are great and know what’s going on now.
All is well at the Catturd ranch.

After producing a video analyzing the MTG and Posobiec swattings, conservative-leaning commentator Styxhexenhammer666 was himself swatted.
So my home was SWATTED earlier- coincidentally the day I made my video on the subject- thanks to the local and state police for calling my mother beforehand and simply doing a basic search and not hauling off and bashing down the door. Also thank you for recording the call. It’ll…

Considering the victims’ identical political affiliations, it stands to reason the swattings are likely the work of one or more deranged leftists, who hopefully gets brought to justice soon.
