• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says the police were falsely called to her home for the second time in two days.
  • Greene was first "swatted" in the early hours of Wednesday morning by an unidentified suspect. 
  • Local police said the suspect expressed concern about MTG's stance on transgender youth rights.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Thursday that she was the subject of a "swatting" at her home in Rome, Georgia, for the second time in two days.

"Swatted again last night," she wrote on Twitter.

On Wednesday, Greene was the victim of an apparent "swatting" — a form of harassment in which someone calls law enforcement to report a false threat in order to summon armed police to their home. The tactic is highly dangerous, as police may respond with aggressive force and have little way of telling whether or not it's a hoax.

According to the Rome Police Department, officers responded to a call shortly after 1am on Wednesday morning claiming that someone had been "shot multiple times" at Greene's home. Police also said that in a second call, the suspect used a computer-generated voice to say that they were "upset about Mrs. Greene's political view on transgender youth rights."

Last week, Greene filed legislation that would classify providing gender-affirming medical care to transgender youth under 18 as a felony, and has been heavily promoting the bill on social media. Greene has a history of targeting the transgender community, including spreading a baseless rumor in July blaming a nationwide tampon shortage on transgender people.

Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — generally critical of Greene's far-right politics and her fealty to former President Donald Trump — wrote on Twitter that the suspect in the first incident "should be prosecuted," saying that he was the victim of "swatting" twice in 2012.

Insider has reached out to Greene's office, the Rome Police Department, and the US Capitol Police for comment.
