'I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal,' she told KTXL on Thursday while visibly shaken up, but unapologetic and unsure of what she did wrong.
'The assassination part is harsh and I'm not saying that I would go and do that or anything like that by any means but if it was to happen I don't think I would care one bit,' she said.

Under fire: Denise Helms has been fired from her
job at an ice cream shop and reported to Secret Service after writing
this post on her Facebook page hoping the president is assassinated
I'm innocent: Speaking about the incident on
Thursday Ms Helms, 22, was visibly shaken by it but said she was
surprised while believing she hasn't done anything wrong
'The assassination part is harsh and I'm not saying that I would go and do that or anything like that by any means but if it was to happen I don't think I would care one bit,' she said.
Now fired from her job at a local
Cold Stone Creamery on Thursday, the post was described as disgusting by
the store's director who told the Modesto Bee that when he arrived to work he had more than 20 angry voice messages on his company’s machine directed toward Ms Helms.
‘We made the decision because of her comments, but also the community feedback,' said Director Chris Kegle who had employed Ms Helms for less than one year.
'We are very into working with
the community and doing community service. So when your community does
not like you because of an employee, that's bad. We have a business to
run.'
Despite all this, she said she wouldn't take her comments back.
'He has done absolutely nothing for this country,' she explained.
The Modesto Bee reports Ms Helms being a fan of Republican rival Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s campaign according to her Facebook page but report her not registered in the state’s registry to vote.
Asked by KTXL if she’s racist after additionally using the N-word in referring to Obama, she defended herself as not, but also didn't disagree with herself using it.
That disagreement was in sharp contrast to Twitter users across the country, however, who angrily branded her Facebook post among a list of others titled: 'Yes, You're Racist.'
Some even shared their own hinted threats against Ms Helms as well.
‘I jst [sic] got a sweet tooth! how does ice cream from Cold Stone in Turlock California in the month of November sound?’ one woman wrote.
Secret
Service Agent Scott Gillingham in Sacramento says Ms Helms’ post is
being investigated with threats against the president having the
potential to lead to felony charges.
‘We made the decision because of her comments, but also the community feedback,' said Director Chris Kegle who had employed Ms Helms for less than one year.
Standing alone: Cold Stone Creamery called her
action disgusting and no reflection of their own views after receiving
angry calls to their store
Not taking it back: Ms Helms, seen behind the
ice cream counter, had worked for the company for less than a year
before being fired for something she hasn't apologized for
Despite all this, she said she wouldn't take her comments back.
Not registered: Ms Helms said Obama hasn't done
anything for the U.S. while according to state records she is not
registered to vote
The Modesto Bee reports Ms Helms being a fan of Republican rival Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s campaign according to her Facebook page but report her not registered in the state’s registry to vote.
