SHOCK: CNN Reports on Recent Swatting of Multiple Conservatives – And Does a Decent Job! (VIDEO)

Are you prepared to be stunned? CNN has done a report on the swatting of conservatives over the last few weeks, and they actually took the subject seriously and did a decent job covering it.

Over the course of several days, the swatting of conservatives has been out of control. It has happened to Trump impersonator Shawn Farash, Owen Shroyer of Infowars, and even Juanita Broaddrick, among many others. It’s so serious that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued a statement about it.

The CNN report notes that swatting is so dangerous because it can result in death, and has in some instances.

From CNN:

‘I just fell to the ground’: Some of Trump and Musk’s most public supporters targeted in a wave of swatting incidents

Almost all the influencers who have publicized their recent swattings are conservative supporters of President Donald Trump. Many have also interacted with top Trump adviser and donor Elon Musk on X over the years, with Musk either replying to them or reposting their X posts. The swattings are happening as Tesla owners and dealerships are experiencing a wave of vandalism in backlash against the company’s billionaire CEO, and his Department of Government Efficiency.

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security say they’re investigating this latest rash of swattings, which these influencers say could easily turn deadly.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we will not sit idly by as conservative new media and their families are being targeted by false swatting,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem wrote on X on Wednesday. “@DHSgov has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. We will use it to hunt these cowards down. This is an attack on our law enforcement and innocent families and we will prosecute it as such.”…

Swatting is a form of harassment that’s considered a crime at the federal and state levels.

And it can be deadly. In 2017, police killed Andrew Finch after a group of online gamers — who were later imprisoned — called 911 to report that a man had shot his father in the head and was holding his mother and brother at gunpoint, while threatening to set their home on fire.

Finch was shot by police when he dropped his hands as officers told him to raise his arms when he came out of the house, according to the US attorney.

If CNN did more reporting like this, their ratings would certainly be higher. It’s also worth noting that if they are reporting on this topic, it’s more serious than many people realize. Swatting is basically attempted murder. The people who do this want the victims to be harmed or even killed.
