Authorities later deemed the report false, revealing the caller falsely claimed Buttigieg confessed to violent crimes in a town he’d never visited. Buttigieg called it one of the darkest moments of his life, especially painful given he’d recently shared family photos for Father’s Day. He linked the incident to a broader wave of anti-LGBTQ attacks and warned that such “swatting” tactics—false emergency calls meant to provoke heavy police responses—are not only dangerous but also waste critical resources. For Buttigieg, this marks a troubling escalation in political hostility, turning public life into a perilous game. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
