Ted Nugent, whose comments about President Obama at the NRA convention over the weekend reportedly drew the attention of the Secret Service, told a conservative radio host Tuesday the controversy over his remarks is drummed up by his political enemies. 

“I’ve never in my life threatened anyone’s life,” Nugent told the Dana Loesch Show. “I am incapable of threatening anyone’s life.”

Democrats have called on Romney to condemn Nugent, an endorser who Romney has touted. Of Nugent’s comments, Team Romney told TPM “Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from.”
