The incident represents the latest swatting event against political officials. Dangerous swatting events appear to have first been instigated by Democrat prank callers against political opponents.

The prank call at the White House forced fire trucks and ambulances to rush to a snow-covered White House, the Daily Mail reported.

[That seems odd. Emergency fire alarms require a response from certified fire response teams, but one would expect that the White House and Secret Service would have its own 24/7 response team for that purpose. The security needs around the president would make that kind of response difficult to complete effectively anyway. — Ed]
