FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday told podcast Joe Rogan that his home had been swatted on Thursday.

"Swatting" refers to calling the authorities with false allegations against someone and encouraging law enforcement to visit their home with substantive force.

"My house just got swatted yesterday," Patel told Rogan on his eponymous podcast. An incredulous Rogan pressed him on his status as the FBI director and his vulnerability to such a tactic.

"Yeah. It's the ultimate height of hypocrisy. They have 2 sets of rules. One against you, one for them," Patel insisted.

Other high-profile swatting incidents have affected lawmakers this year, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
