This happens to Republicans. A lot.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/rick-scott...

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) was among the latest swath of politicians to be "swatted" this week after two House Republicans and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu were victims of false emergency calls on Christmas.

Yes, the odd democrat is in there. But it's not really close. MTG must be the record holder.

Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R-GA) said his home was swatted Wednesday night, and a bomb threat was called to his office on Thursday. Jones vowed in a post on X that he "will not be intimidated by those attempting to silence me" and that "we will put an end to this madness."

and he's right. It's an intimidation tactic to show that they know where you live.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who was the victim of a swatting incident on Christmas, said both of her daughters' homes were swatted and vowed that whoever is putting in the false calls will be "caught and it won’t be funny to you anymore."

Notice they're going after her family now, which is basically mafia- or terrorism-like behavior.
