Prominent users of X have reported that either they or their relatives have been swatted recently in what appears to be an organized effort to terrorize conservative journalists on the social media platform.
The list includes popular X commentators Gunther Eagleman and Nick Sortor, who have large followings.
FBI chieftain Kash Patel has said the bureau is investigating.
But the far Left isn’t stopping with swatting conservatives.
GOP Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina has released audio of the multiple profanity-laced death threats he has received.
As well, leftists are targeting Tesla cars, trucks, and dealerships with terror and vandalism.
I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable. This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated. We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes. More updates to come.
A far-left tactic to intimidate conservatives into silence and perhaps get them killed in a police shootout, swatting involves a call to the police to dispatch units to an address where the conservative is said to be holding his wife and children hostage and about to murder them.
It is, in fact, domestic terrorism.
Though cops showed up at the homes of the conservatives or their relatives, no one, thankfully, was hurt.
“The gloves are off,” wrote Eagleman, who counts 1.4 million followers:
First off, my family is safe.
My house was just swatted. Some ignorant f**k called in a fake hostage situation.
Fortunately, I have good relations with law enforcement, and extra patrols will be added. I don’t tolerate threats and will find the culprit.
This was their worst mistake.
