Two family members of one of America’s top conservative voices were swatted last night, an act of violence that could have turned deadly.
This morning, Nick Sorter, a conservative influencer with over 900K followers on X, shared a harrowing account of his sister and father’s near-death experience due to false police reports. This sinister tactic, known as “swatting,” involves prank calls that send SWAT teams to innocent people’s homes, putting their lives at serious risk.
Both my dad and my sister were swatted tonight. A dozen cops attempted to kick my dad’s door in at gunpoint. This is literal terrorism. And the FBI should treat it as such. Before calling in the swat, this dumbshit sent my sister an email calling me a Nazi, of course. So the motive is clear. In my dad’s case, the caller told police my dad was killing my entire family, requiring them to intervene with deadly force. This is nothing short of attempted murder. They wanted the police to kill my father.

Sorter boldly addressed the culprits, declaring:
Unfortunately for the swatter, I WILL NOT stop. I WILL NOT shut up. And you WILL NOT win. If anything, my family is behind me even more than they were before. Because they just got a first-hand look at the forces I’m fighting with on a daily basis. Your hate fuels me. I’m over the target. As President Trump says: FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.
The message sent to Sorter’s sister labeled him a “Nazi” and insulted his family values, showing the clear malicious intent behind these actions.
In a related incident, another prominent conservative, Gunther Eagleman, with 1.3 million followers on X, also faced a swatting attack. He assured his followers that his family is safe and warned those responsible that they made “their worst mistake.”
The gloves are off. First off, my family is safe. My house was just swatted. Some ignorant person called in a fake hostage situation. Fortunately, I have good relations with law enforcement, and extra patrols will be added. I don’t tolerate threats and will find the culprit.

InfoWars founder Alex Jones called for immediate action from the FBI and DOJ to protect conservative figures from these heinous acts. He shared a video featuring InfoWars journalist Owen Shroyer discussing these alarming trends:

Nick Sorter joined the chorus, urging FBI Director Kash Patel to intervene immediately to prevent further tragedies.
These acts of violence and intimidation come amid a backdrop of increasing aggression from leftist extremists, who seem emboldened to attack those holding conservative viewpoints. As the conservative community stands strong, the call for justice and protection grows louder with each incident.
