A Broadway star and former protegé of the legendary Lucille Ball had some rather dangerous words for President Donald Trump as she and her husband talked to reporters in West Hollywood Sunday night.
A TMZ photographer asked Carole Cook, 94, what she thought of a Trump supporter unveiling a “Trump 2020” banner in the audience of “Frozen” on Broadway last week, and she revealed her thoughts on the current president of the United States.
“Is that a proper venue for a Trumper to bring a banner to?” the photographer asks.
“Well my answer to that is […] where’s John Wilkes Booth when you need him?” she responds.
Before she provides her answer, however, her husband, Tom Troupe, begins to presumably say the same phrase, before he tells her to go ahead and say it, suggesting the couple has had this conversation before.
“Oh this is good,” Troupe forewarns. (RELATED: Man Accused Of Threatening To Assassinate President Trump Currently On The Loose, FBI Is Actively Searching For Him)
Cook jokingly asks if the photographer knows who John Wilkes Booth was, and her husband says, “he killed presidents.”
As if her intentions weren’t already clear, another voice asks “So we need to kill President Trump?”
Cook responds, “Why not?”
As Troupe laughs, Cook asks if her comments will get her in trouble or if she’ll be put on an Enemies List, to which she says, “my God I hope so.”
“Just keep me out of jail. Or not,” she says.
A spokesman for the Secret Service told the New York Times on Monday that they are aware of the comment.
“While we do not confirm or comment on the absence or existence of specific investigations we can say that we investigate all threats against the president,” he said.
This is AMERICA This is the PRESIDENT!
What's happening to us?
*yawn* Prepares another target folder.
Proving once again that Democrats have not been this mad at a Republican President since Lincoln took their slaves away.
They couldn’t even keep it together over a rodeo clown.
She thinks Lincoln’s assassination was a good thing? Well, considering her age, it won’t be too long before she’ll be able to meet her hero in person.
Why? Is she trying to start a new #MeToo movement?

A winner right out of the gate. That's exactly where we are...
That’s her? What is she ... on lunch break from Clown College?
Where’s the Grim Reaper when you need him?
I got like 50 of these saved up in my "DCOOH" folder.
Where’s Sen. Joseph McCarthy when you need him.
I don’t care how old or young this cretin is. She needs a serious visit from he Secret Service.
A very real exposure of the banality of evil. This ‘star’ speaks recklessly yet has no concept of the evil that she espouses. The entire milieu of pop culture has been cozened into thinking that their free speech has no consequence even when they condemn the speech of others.
Senile old bitch. She will get her reward soon....
‘John Wilkes Booth the Democrat’s Confederate hero?’
highly thought of by a handful of people on this forum as well...
lolol
As a Booth whose family moved from VA in 1820s i am offended at the notion that any relative no matter the distance would kill an elected president that has been defended freedom from tyranny.
I am a Booth and have mixed emotions, lincoln was wrong to force the south to remain, slavery was wrong and needed to end, b ut politically the south was right.
