Christmas Day was dangerously busy for two popular American conservatives who became victims of swatting incidents.
For the second time in just three days, the parents of conservative influencer Jack Posobiec were "swatted," with gruesome accusations the pundit had shot his wife and sons.
"Parents just got swatted again," Posobiec posted on X, formerly Twitter.
"Christmas night. They told the officers that I had shot my wife and sons in the kitchen."
Swatting is when someone makes a false report of an ongoing serious crime in order to elicit a response from law enforcement, such as the dispatch of a SWAT unit.
Jack's brother Kevin Posobiec posted a brief video clip of the incident online, noting, "Swatted on Christmas."
"There's not a war on Christians. Keep scrolling."
Jack Posobiec is a senior editor at Human Events and host of a daily talk show on "Real America's Voice."
Late Christmas night, Posobiec added:
"It is clear federal law is currently inadequate on swatting incidents whether to schools, public figures, or Members of Congress. Such law must be updated. In addition, Congress must address the total failure of federal law enforcement agencies to deal with these violent threats."
As WND reported Sunday, Posobiec's parents were swatted on Friday, with similar accusations.
"My parents were just Swatted," he began.
"Everyone is fine. Law enforcement are fully involved and tracking down the perpetrator.
"They told police that I had shot my parents and was threatening to shoot my family."
Later Saturday night, Posobiec thanked people for their concern, and warned the perpetrators:
"Thanks to everyone who reached out this evening. I understand others are going through this as well tonight. Law enforcement is fully involved.
"Going after family members like this, at Christmas, is not going over well. Expect a response."
Also on Christmas Day, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., shared that she herself was again swatted in Rome, Georgia:
"I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn't have to deal with this. I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!"
Over the weekend, Greene had told Posobiec: "I'm glad your family is safe ... It's extremely serious and they want you killed by police who think they are responding to something awful as you described. These people are evil."
In the wake of the latest swatting of Posobiec's parents, J.D. Rucker of the Liberty Daily noted: "Swatting is terrorism by definition. It's also the most cowardly form of 'direct action' the mediocre pukes on the left could possibly take."
Other reaction online includes:
"This is highly coordinated left-wing terrorism targeting conservatives. So, no one will be held accountable."
"They wouldn't be coming after you if you weren't having an impact. Keep running brother, the country needs you."
"Is there a reason they can't find these people and prosecute them? They seem to be able to find grandmas from J6."
"If this was happening to CNN reporters' families, there would be at least 200 FBI agents working on finding out who did it tonight!"
"If cell companies can read your phone messages, why can't the @FBI find these swatters? This is getting dangerous and something needs to be done about it!"
"Cool how cops don't do any due diligence before swatting and just swat the same place two nights in a row."
"You were one of the biggest conservative influencers in the 2020 election and will no doubt be one of the biggest conservative influencers in the 2024 election. You share news and info with millions of people daily. They want you to stop – which means you must be louder."
One commenter comically asked:
"Is it possible to swat the White House? Asking for a fren."
A responder chimed in, saying: "Only if you want to be the one swatter they are able to locate."
