Secret Service Examining Talk Host’s Violent Comments About President Obama, Hillary Clinton
The Secret Service is investigating talker Ray Santilli after his violent diatribe about President Obama and Hillary Clinton where, among other things, he said he wanted to shoot Hillary Clinton in the vagina.
“We are aware of Mr. Santilli’s comments and will take the appropriate follow up action,” Edwin M. Donovan, a Secret Service spokesperson, told TPM on Monday. “He certainly has a right to free speech, but the Secret Service has a right and an obligation to determine what a person’s intent is when making comments like this.”
He made the threatening comments the week before last on his eponymous Internet based radio program. Santilli is a fringe figure who has made threatening comments on his program in the past. But he’s gained some quasi-mainstream attention recently with guests like Ted Nugent and Gun Owners of America director Larry Pratt.
