DENVER, CO – Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe in Denver, Colo., says it has received death threats after it refused to host a Mitt Romney event.

Oscar Aguirre, who runs cafe, said that he has received more than 500 emails and non-stop phone calls after news broke that his cafe refused Romney’s request to host a political function there.

“They say, ‘I know where you live. I’m going to get you. Watch your back,’” Aguirre said, repeating one of the threats he said was made against him.

Aguirre’s parents, the owners of the restaurant, said that they refused the request because they are not Republicans and would have also denied a request from President.
