Indiana lawmaker under pressure to back Trump’s redistricting push is victim of a swatting
An Indiana lawmaker who has yet to make a decision on whether to back President Donald Trump’s push to have Republicans redraw the state’s congressional boundaries was the victim of a swatting call Sunday that brought sheriff’s deputies to his home.The call, in which someone reported a fake emergency at the Terre Haute home of state Sen. Greg Goode, came hours after Trump criticized Indiana lawmakers for not moving forward with the plan and singled out Goode and Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray. Trump has been trying to persuade Republican-led states across the country to aggressively redraw their congressional maps to help the GOP hold the U.S. House in next year’s midterm elections.
Deputies were sent to Goode’s home after receiving an email “advising harm had been done to persons inside a home,” according to a statement from the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office.

trump invoked a dog whistle term for Goode, "RINO," and it elicited the desired response. Certain trump fans, like the ones who tried to intimidate members of the court and jury during Don's trials, are still out there ready and willing to swing in to action.
