1:08Now PlayingGeorgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones appears to be the latest Republican lawmaker to become the victim of “swatting,” he said in a social media post on Thursday.
The alleged “swatting” case — a term for when law enforcement responds to false allegations of a violent incident at an unsuspecting person’s home — follows several other reports of false 911 calls involving mostly GOP politicians since last week.
“Last night, my home was ‘swatted’. This morning, a bomb threat was called to my office. Thankfully everyone is safe, and I commend our local law enforcement officers for their professionalism,” Jones wrote on X.
The bomb threat was made to Jones’ Jackson, Ga., district office, The Post has learned, and the incident is being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and FBI.
“Let me be clear — I will not be intimidated by those attempting to silence me. We will put an end to this madness. We are in full compliance with law enforcement, and I am confident that those responsible will be brought to justice and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Jones added.
