Tom Arnold confirms Secret Service interviewed him over POTUS threat

So-called comedian and actor, Tom Arnold, spoke about a visit paid to him by the Secret Service, the agency that is called upon to protect the President of the United States.

Arnold, who hits like a young girl, sent a video to the far left rag known a s Mother Jones, after he tweeted challenging President Trump to a fight. The video, published Monday, shows Arnold speaking with agents in his LA home late October.

"We're not the First Amendment police," one agent says in the clip. "You're free to say whatever you want . . . [but] once a certain line is crossed . . . what we're concerned with is the type of audience it could reach, that it could incite somebody."

Arnold was likely scared and very cooperative with the agents and explained that he understood the ramifications of his posts, but showed no insight into how childish he appeared to normal adults.

"I did see a crazy reaction to it from people," Arnold admitted weakly. "I get a lot of death threats. There's a certain element — I don't know if they're bots — I just ignore it. . . . But I also see how they take something and they blow it up like, 'He is literally threatening to . . .' And I find that absurd, but I can see how, obviously if people are tweeting . . . they can call you guys and have you come over. That's ridiculous, but I understand why you're here."

One of the agents explained to Arnold that assassination attempts on presidents are often "motivated by somebody." [Particularly when people explain that they want to impart violence on the president.]

"What we have to worry about is your type of audience and you say something inciting those that follow you," the second agent explained. "You might be using it in a comedian-type sense or whatever, you know — being very comical about it — but there's a lot of people out there who may really follow Tom Arnold: 'He said this, and that's the exact thing, I needed that. I need to go get this and go ahead to the next rally and carry this out.'"

Arnold released a perfunctory statement about the visit on Twitter on Monday, writing, "Thank you David Corn for your fine work as always. Thank you US Secret Service for risking your lives keeping democracy safe. I appreciate you coming to my home on what must've been a busy day. I heard your message loud & clear. Words matter. Tone matters. Words can incite violence. Be responsible."

Doesn't that sound like Michael Avenatti thanking the cops for arresting him for allegedly beating on his girlfriend?

The Secret Service's visit was apparently caused by a tweet Arnold sent in October in which he challenged Trump to a fight.

"I say put up or shut up @realDonaldTrump Me vs You. For America," Arnold, a 59-year-old butterball, tweeted on Oct. 19. "First body slam wins. Any Rally. Any Time. Between now & the midterms. #FridayFeeling."

Then he closed his laptop, grabbed his crotch, and popped a beer.

The tough guy also had a brush with the law in September whereby the LAPD investigated an alleged physical altercation between him and "Apprentice" producer Mark Burnett. He accused Burnett of choking him at a pre-Emmys party, but Burnett's wife, actress Roma Downey, said that Arnold caused her to get a bruise on her hand when he allegedly "ambushed" the couple.

Let's face it--Tom Arnold is kind of an ass. His next plan fight he wants is with Bernie Sanders.
