The Secret Service is looking into an incident in which a New York delegate at the Democratic National Convention said she would “like to kill” Mitt Romney if she ever sees him.
Julia Rodriguez made the remark Wednesday in a brief interview with a reporter for The Blaze website.
She said she thinks the Republican presidential candidate will ruin the country.
“He will destroy this country, completely. Romney will destroy this country,” she said. “If I see him, I would like to kill him.”
The startling remarks caught the attention of the Secret Service, which provides protection to the former Massachusetts governor.
“We are aware of the video and are taking the appropriate follow-up steps,” spokesman Ed Donovan said in an email.

Whoo hoo!! Let’s hear it for the oh so typical socialist liberal democrat version of civility.
I will bet we won’t hear a word out of Barack Hussein Obama or Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz about this.
The first amendment protects her right to say this. It is not a threat; she didn’t say she will kill him, but only that she would like to. That is protected speech, as the Supreme Court has ruled many times. It is worrying that someone would say something like this, but it’s even more worrying that the Secret Service would give her a hard time for it.
but obama will not destroy this country ……..because he already has these people are not brainwashed..they r brain dead
This is coming from a member of the same party as the person who has been running this country for the past 3 and a half years…. wow.
