The FBI is actively investigating a string of swatting attacks targeting conservative media personalities, with Director Kash Patel promising swift action. In a March 14 statement on X, Patel said his agency is coordinating with local law enforcement to ensure those responsible are held accountable.

Reports from Gateway Pundit indicate that pseudonymous conservative influencer “Catturd” was swatted yet again — his fourth such incident — on the night of March 13-14. Journalist Breanna Morello highlighted the case, warning that many conservative figures fear speaking publicly about their experiences due to repeated targeting.

The Daily Mail detailed the case of Chase Geiser, a conservative commentator who was swatted twice in under 12 hours. The report states that police arrived at his home in the middle of the night, responding to a false claim that he had threatened his family. Officers, who called him out by name, later confirmed the call had been a hoax.

Meanwhile, The Post Millennial reported that Trump impersonator and conservative activist Shawn Farash was also swatted in recent days. The report linked his case to an ongoing wave of similar incidents affecting right-leaning media figures. The outlet noted that these cases frequently involve doxing — where personal information is leaked online before the hoax calls occur.

Patel’s statement stressed that this is not a partisan issue but a matter of public safety, adding that the FBI will “not tolerate” law enforcement being manipulated in this manner. His commitment to accountability comes amid calls for stronger legal consequences for those involved in orchestrating these dangerous hoaxes.

With Patel now addressing the issue at the federal level, those affected are watching closely to see what measures will be taken to prevent further incidents.
