CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A spokesman for the Secret Service told The Daily Caller that the agency is aware of video showing a delegate at the Democratic National Convention expressing a desire to “kill” Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
“We are aware of it,” Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie told TheDC on Thursday.
He said the department is “taking the appropriate follow-up steps” with the woman.
Video surfaced on Wednesday of a woman identifying herself as New York delegate Julia Rodriguez telling The Blaze, “If I see him” — in reference to Romney — “I would like to kill him.”
In the video, Rodriguez says she’s from Puerto Rico but she now lives in New York. She expressed her desire to kill the Republican nominee after saying “Romney will destroy this country.” (SEE ALSO: Puerto Rico’s governor: Romney ‘looked me in the eye,’ promised statehood)
The Daily Caller couldn’t immediately reach a spokesman with the New York Democratic Party.
I doubt she represents any real threat to Romney. However as a delegate she is a horrible example and the idea she is making decisions which effect America is scary, no matter how small her impact.
Well....if looks could kill, guilty as charged!!!!!
Good! Throw her goatsmellin’ ass in jail for a while so she can cool off. The next thing you know she’ll be saying that she wants to rape Slick Willie. She’s a wild woman.
Let me guess. In this instance it is appropriate that there be no follow-up steps.
I think she’s a ‘perfect example’..............
“After a brief investigation, we concluded she’s very guilty.”
Secret Service
I think we have a new replacement for Helen Thomas.........
I’m an optimist today. Today I would bet she’s only an example of about 90% of the other dem delegates.
She is the perfect example of a Dem delegate. So we will hear that she has apologized OR, she’ll double down and say she is being harassed because she is Puerto Rican and why doesn’t the CIA go after all the rednecks that threaten Obama,,or some such nonsense. She’ll probably next be seen as a Gloria Allred accessory.
But she is a perfect example of what liberals are all about.
She didn’t “kill him”. She said “Keeeeeeeeeeeel him”.
She seems to be a harmless idiot but anyways...that’ll teach her.
Seems like a repeat of the attempt on Gerald Ford and President Reagan.
Never underestimate an “idle threat” from anyone. Period.
If Puerto Rico has more people like her, then the country should be cleaning up its populace before it is granted Statehood.
So... she’s a Tea Partier?
Nah... just an old bat.
I ask my husband how he would like to wake up to that mouth every morning.
He rolled his eyes and gave me a big kiss.
Using the left’s ‘logic’, wouldn’t her actions be considered a hate crime?
He said the department is “taking the appropriate follow-up steps” with the woman.
Let me guess. In this instance it is appropriate that there be no follow-up steps.

The DSCC probably wants her to give a speech after this incident. She probably has FALN connections.
This coming from the party of “civility”.
