Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Sunday reported a spy attempt at her Washington D.C. residence through her television.
“Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV,” Greene tweeted.
Greene added a message about her physical and psychological health.
“Just for the record: I’m very happy. I’m also very healthy and eat well and exercise a lot. I don’t smoke and never have. I don’t take any medications. I am not vaccinated. So I’m not concerned about blood clots, heart conditions, strokes, or anything else,” she wrote.
“Nor do I have anything to hide. I just love my country and the people and know how much they’ve been screwed over by the corrupt people in our government and I’m not willing to be quiet about it, or willing to go along with it,” Greene concluded her message.

The Georgia Republican posted an article about the FBI warning that your smart TV might be spying on you.
It’s essentially the intelligence community admitting it spies on the American people and violates their privacy.

From CBS News:
If you bought a “smart” TV this holiday season or are planning to, consider this warning to consumers from the FBI: The device sitting in your living room could be used to hack into your home computer network and spy on you.
Smart TVs, which come with an internet connection, allow users to browse the web and watch shows from their favorite streaming platforms. They also come with a range of customizable features in lieu of a remote, including voice commands to flip through channels or to turn up the volume.
But the devices — equipped with cameras, microphones and, in some cases, facial recognition technology — are often poorly secured by their manufacturers compared to computers or smartphones, the FBI warned last week. That opens up the technology to cybercriminals who can exploit the vulnerability to access home routers, TechCrunch reported.
The FBI can use smart TVs to spy on us?
Got it!
But we already knew that.
Greene has also been swatted six times.
“I was swatted for the 6th time last night,” Greene wrote in October 2022.
“Swatting is a very serious crime. The caller wants to have their victim murdered by police. But it is also a giant abuse of police resources and time, which is another reason it is a serious crime. God bless my local police,” she added.

FOX 5 Atlanta reported:
A spokesperson for Greene confirmed to the National Review that police responded to the Georgia Republican’s home but did not give any more information.
The swatting attacks on Greene began in August, when the congresswoman was swatted two nights in a row. In the second incident, Police say a call was received on what appeared to be a suicide crisis line from an internet chat. In the report, the person who made the call allegedly claimed that they were transgender, had shot their family, and were planning on shooting themselves.
Rome police have referred all questions regarding the incidents to the FBI, which is investigating. So far, no one has been arrested.
