Mexican Restaurant Gets Death Threats After Refusing Romney Visit

The Mormon owners of a Mexican cafe in Denver have been getting death threats, hate calls, and false orders since not allowing the Romney campaign to visit with its candidate.

“One person who called said, ‘Watch your back. We know where live and we’re going after you,'” Oscar Aguirre, the son of the owners of Rosa Linda Mexican Cafe, told KMGH New Media Producer Wayne Harrison. “We just didn’t want our business used as a campaign stop.”

Aguirre explained that callers had been misinformed that the restaurant had refused to serve Romney.

“It was presented to us that [Romney] wanted to do a political stump here,” he told the station. “[He wanted to] talk about our small business [and] because we share our religious views with the candidate and are Latinos it would be great for him to do a campaign stop.”

“We did say ‘no’ because we are not Republicans, nor are we Democrats. We will welcome any sitting President of the United States. But, we did not want to be a campaign stop.”
