This swatting epidemic against influencers on the right is definitely getting out of hand.
We reported on how Trump impersonator Shawn Farash was one of the people hit. His wife described how cops showed up with guns at their house and how scary it was. But Farash said that if people thought this was going to silence him with such actions they were dead wrong and he called for an investigation into the rash of swattings.
Many other influencers reported getting swatted as well.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI was committed to holding the people behind these attacks accountable and they would run them to ground.
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.
FBI Director Kash Patel: Swatting 'Will Not Be Tolerated'
Now there's another one to look into -- the reported swatting against conservative personality and Bill Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick.
On Monday night, Broaddrick recounted how she had been swatted.
“About 10 police and swat team showed up,” Broaddrick reported.
“They said the caller said there were 2 masked men and people inside had been shot."
She said that this had to stop.
You can see the video she posted with the police arriving at her house here.
It's bad enough that whoever is behind these things wants to hurt people for thinking differently than they do. But seriously, crazy person behind this, this is who you swat? Broaddrick is over 80, how despicable can you be? This is just pure evil. The left needs to reevaluate their humanity when they are doing things like this.
She had apparently received a prank pizza order prior to the swatting as well, something other victims like Farash have reported too.
Broaddrick thanked everyone who offered well-wishes after, calling it "a harrowing experience to say the least" and saying she hoped Kash Patel and Dan Bongino get the the people behind it.
Elon Musk said, "Whoever is doing this needs to face justice."
Broaddrick made a good point, that police across the country should be notified.
You know what’s interesting? None of the police involved in my swatting knew what was going on. None of them were on X.

I had to pull up posts on X to show them.
Would it be a good idea for the FBI to send out a notice to all police departments nationwide to make them…

With that many people being swatted, there may be a good trail for the FBI to track down. So these criminals who think this is funny may ultimately find out it isn't, when the police show up for real at their doors to arrest them.
