Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said that her local police department intercepted a bomb threat against her that was sent via email, but that she was safe. 

The congresswoman is one of at least nine lawmakers who have been threatened recently, with the majority of the threats being levied against Democrats. Seven Democrats received threats on Thanksgiving, and Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Lori Trahan was the victim of a bomb threat on Saturday, NBC News reported.

Greene’s office confirmed the reports in a press release, and said the emailed threat, which was traced to a Russian IP address and appeared to be support Palestine, claimed a pipe bomb was placed in the congresswoman’s mailbox.

“The Rome Police Department’s Assistant Chief of Police received an email containing a bomb threat directed towards me,” Greene wrote in a post on X. “I’m so grateful to every member of the Rome Police Department for your swift and professional response in ensuring my safety.”

Rome Police Department spokesperson Kelly Madden told NBC that a bomb squad was sent to the congresswoman’s house and failed to find a bomb. The investigation has since been turned over to the FBI.

Greene later said that a woman was killed in a car accident involving a Rome Police bomb squad member that was responding to the emailed threat.

“These violent political threats have fatal consequences,” Greene wrote on X. “It’s an undue strain on our law enforcement who must treat them seriously. The officer was responding to protect my life. And now, a woman has lost her life because of this despicable act.”

Monday’s incident was not the first time Greene has been targeted. The Georgian has been the victim of swatting incidents at least nine times since being elected in 2021, her office said.
