This needs some more background.
Did she comply w/the authorities?
If this is accurate there does need to be prosecution.
As big an asshole as this woman is… swatting is a dangerous and dispicable thing
While I know that a lot of conservatives on here hate CNN, it does help to get more of the story than what the OP's link provided. Yes, she was SWATted, and yes, the police did show up, but didn't go full gung ho as they realized it was her house when they showed up. They knocked on the door, asked if everything was allright, and then left. An investigation is being pursued, and the idiot caller who did the initial call decided to call back and say that it was because of her views on transgender youth.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene again targeted in 'swatting' incident, police say | CNN Politics
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was again the target of a "swatting" police call early Thursday morning, police said.
Was this an assassination attempt? Calling it that is being overly hyperbolic, as the police realized whose house it was and didn't end up going into full SWAT mode. And, they are investigating.
That being said, even though it is MTG and I think of her as a very despicable person as well as a poor excuse as a politician, I don't think that ANYONE should have this happen to them, as we have seen in previous instances where it can go very bad very quickly. But at least the police recognized whose house it was before going into standoff mode.
And, I'm hoping that the coward who made the initial call (who also used a voice disguiser), is caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent for making a prank call to 911.
