Secret Service Confronts Woman Over ‘Comments She Made Online’

Oh my.

According to this, Secret Service stopped by a Texas woman’s home and confronted her over comments she made about President Trump online. You can hear her telling her nephew in the the background, “I made comments online so the Secret Service came to my door with a SAPD that works with them.”

The remark in question? She said, “Can someone shoot the fool between the eyes…” on Facebook.

The clip, filmed in San Antonio, Texas, US, shows an agent and a police officer standing on a woman’s doorstep as they try to question her on January 10.

Throughout the video, the shocked woman argues about her right to freedom of speech and repeatedly asks if she has committed a crime.

She asks them: ‘You’re with the secret service you said?’

She asked them if they were arresting her, and they told her no.

“Is this mandatory? Do I need to speak to you? Am I under arrest and I being charged with anything?” she asked.

“I’m here to ask about the statements you made online,” the agent told her.

Opening the his files, the secret agent begins reading the comment she posted on her Facebook account. He says: ‘Can someone shoot the fool between the eyes…’

Suddenly angered, the woman interrupts him and says: ‘So what you’re saying is that I don’t have freedom of speech? I can’t say what I want to? Is that the concern?

‘Did I commit a crime by expressing what I said?’

The two men, who both appear to be hesitant to talk throughout the exchange, say that she has not committed a crime and that she can refuse to be interviewed.

The woman then says that she refuses to be asked any more questions until she has hired an attorney to be with her.

She took his number and slammed the door.

I don’t know how to untangle this. On one hand, it seems excessive, and it honestly gives me the creeps. There are serious Nanny State vibes. On the other hand, it wasn’t simple critical commentary. She literally asked someone to shoot POTUS dead soooo…I don’t know.

She slammed her door in their face, so what happens next? Who’s in the wrong here? Her? The agents? What should happen next? Weigh in!
