On Sunday, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene implied that she is being spied on through her television set and also that she has concerns over being “suicided,” a term that refers to a homicide staged as a self-inflicted demise. In a series of tweets, Rep. Greene revealed an incident at her Washington D.C. residence, claiming that her TV turned on by itself and showed that a laptop was attempting to connect to it. She included information about her good health and active lifestyle, along with saying that she is “very happy.”

Greene wrote:

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.

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.

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.

In a follow-up tweet, the Congresswoman linked an article of a report from the FBI warning that Smart TVs could be used to spy on Americans. Greene’s tweet was retweeted with a graphic created using former President Barack Obama’s official presidential portrait, adding a pair of binoculars as a reference to prior claims of the administration’s surveillance activities, such as the FISA warrants issued for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The Congresswoman re-shared the graphic on her personal Twitter page.

If there was any room left to doubt what Greene was implying, she also published an article from her official Congressional account regarding the spying claims in refutation to the media’s suggestion that she was promoting a “conspiracy theory.”

You know what they say about conspiracy theories.

Matt Binder, a writer from Mashable, provided a more benign interpretation of the events surrounding Greene’s television, suggesting that a neighbor had accidentally tried to screencast to the wrong TV and critiquing the assumption that the Congresswoman’s life is at risk, writing:

one of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s neighbors accidentally tried to screen cast to the wrong TV so naturally her first thought is that this means someone is trying to assassinate her

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene experienced multiple incidents of “swatting” at her residence last year. “Swatting” refers to the act of making false emergency reports to law enforcement, resulting in a SWAT team response. Twice in two days, false reports were made, leading the police to respond at her home. The first false report was of gunshots coming from the residence, and later the suspect called back while using a computer-generated voice to admit that they were “upset about Mrs. Greene’s political view on transgender youth rights,” police said. The second swatting incident was an alleged hostage situation, said to be one of Greene’s family members who had announced they were transgender.
