Conservative Figures and Trump Allies Targeted by Swatting Calls

The FBI is investigating swatting incidents targeting multiple conservative and MAGA figures at their homes.

Social media influencer Gunther Eagleman, radio show host Joe Pagliarulo, and Infowars' Chase Geiser are among those who have said they were targeted in recent days, Newsweek reports.

Right-wing journalist Nick Sortor said his father and sister were swatted after authorities received a call falsely claiming his father was planning to kill his entire family.

Shawn Farash, a comedian who calls himself Captain Deplorable on social media, said police were called to his house after receiving reports that a person was "murdered" at his home and that someone was planning to carry out "suicide by cop."

Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah responded to Farash on X, asking whether swatting should be "prosecuted as attempted murder."
