InfoWars host Chase Geiser announced on Tuesday that he was targeted by a “campaign swatting” of his property just a little over a day after InfoWars reporter Jamie White was “brutally murdered” outside his apartment in Austin, Texas, on Sunday night.
In a Tuesday afternoon post on X, formerly Twitter, Geiser said, “I just got swatted.” Asked whether the swatting incident was related to White’s murder, Geiser tweeted, “We were both on the same Ukraine enemies of the state list, seems unrelated to what happened to Jamie but related to the fact we’ve been reporting about being in the list.”
During an appearance on the “Alex Jones” shortly after the swatting incident, Geiser explained that he had received a phone call from a police deputy on Tuesday. While he initially expected that the police deputy was calling for information about White in light of Sunday’s murder incident, Geiser said the deputy told him, “No, we’re outside your house with your neighbor, and we’ve been trying to get in because there was a call that somebody broke into your house and killed your dog and that you and your family were hiding in your basement.”

Geiser told Jones that he immediately noticed a “red flag” since his family does not have a basement in their Texas home. Following the phone call with the deputy, Geiser said he checked in with his wife and kids, who were out of the house “getting groceries” at the time of the swatting call. Geiser then “rushed” home and talked with law enforcement officials.
Geiser said that roughly half a dozen police cars were parked outside of his house when he arrived. The law enforcement officials told the InfoWars host that they had received “a litany of SWAT requests for my property via 311 via text.”
“Now, these people were refusing to answer the phone or speak, they say they can only text, and they said that as I was talking to the police in my own driveway, 15 or 20 minutes after the initial call, they said that they were still getting 311 messages about my house,” Geiser added. “So there was a campaign swatting my property today.”
After Geiser shared his story, Jones described Tuesday’s incident as part of the “terrorism campaign” against conservative figures and influencers opposed to the war in Ukraine.
Confirming his vocal opposition to the war in Ukraine, Geiser noted, “I’ve been very adamantly opposed to the war ever since the beginning.”
