Swatting has unleashed havoc on conservative media personalities this week, thrusting FBI Director Kash Patel into the spotlight. These false emergency reports have cops storming homes, putting everyone in jeopardy. Patel’s commitment to partnering with local police aims to quash this growing menace.
The Daily Mail painted a vivid scene from March 12, reporting, “Conservative radio host Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo revealed video footage of a man outside his home with a rifle.” Pags, a fixture in conservative circles, immediately sought Patel’s help to unravel the motive behind these attacks.
I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement…

Nick Sortor’s experience took a personal turn when swatters targeted his family too. The Gateway Pundit stated, “Several conservative figures including Nick Sortor, Gunther Eagleman, and Shawn Farash have been swatted over the last couple of days.” A caller’s wild claim about Sortor’s dad suggests these pranks rely on dug-up details.
Catturd confirms swatting.
There have been 6 this week against conservative commentators and one murder.
This is happening, take all precautions. https://t.co/h6k17oN0Dh pic.twitter.com/rFIVlQvtcb

Patel isn’t playing favorites. The Post Millennial quoted him saying, “This isn’t about politics — weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers.” His March 14 statement rallies support across the board.
My wife and I were swatted tonight.
We are totally safe.
Thank you to everyone who checked in.
We are going to do whatever is necessary to find out who is behind these coordinated attacks and hold them accountable to the fullest extent.
Thank you all for the support! pic.twitter.com/TRYsx0PF1d

🚨 Maxine Waters just DOUBLED DOWN on her violent rhetoric, even after the death threats against Trump, Elon Musk, attacks on Tesla showrooms, and MULTIPLE swatting incidents on conservatives
RADICAL LEFTISTS ARE ENCOURAGING THIS VIOLENCE. They KNOW what they’re doing.

Gunther Eagleman and his brother Mike dodged disaster when swatters struck. The Post Millennial noted, “Gunther Eagleman said he was also the victim of a swatting attack,” linked to a fake “hostage situation.” The Gateway Pundit added, “Catturd and Gunther’s brother Mike were also swatted this morning,” piling on the incidents.
We don’t have time to wait. More and more conservatives are being swatted as we speak.
Many that haven’t publicly revealed it as well.@AGPamBondi must make CRYSTAL CLEAR the DOJ will be pursuing these cases.
Innocent people are going to end up being kiIIed if FBI and DOJ…

Chase Geiser faced a grueling double dose. The Daily Mail reported, “Infowars host Chase Geiser posted video of police putting him in handcuffs after a person called 911 pretending to be the media personality.” The second call hit before 2 a.m. on March 14, testing his resolve.
TERROR: Conservatives on X are being deliberately targeted, not even their families are safe. @nicksortor's father and sister were separately SWATTED last night. The Democrat activists behind these attacks on independent journalists and their famillies are making it clear to… pic.twitter.com/A8aMVWKyHv

Shawn Farash and “Catturd,” the latter swatted four times, also made the list. The Daily Mail cited an FBI official noting at least 10 swatting reports on March 13.
