Beating of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene at her home leads to fatal traffic accident

A woman was killed in a car crash involving local police after an apparent confrontation call at the home of Republican North Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene reported on social media on Monday that she had been the subject of a bomb threat to her home. The lawmaker said the deputy chief of the Rome Police Department received an email threat, prompting the bomb squad to be called in.

Greene said this is not the first time she has been the target of a bashing since being elected to Congress, noting that she has been “bashed at least nine times.”

A swatting call involves alerting 911 of a false threat against a specific location or person. This can summon a police response and divert resources from actual crimes and threats.
