Nudist Who Threatened President Obama Claims to be Mitchum's Illegitimate Daughter

A Colorado woman who's fought for her right to garden topless and who allegedly threatened President Obama also claims to be the illegitimate daughter of the late ROBERT MITCHUM and her husband claims his father was President Eisenhower.

The DailyCaller reports that Catherine Pierce and her husband Robert are known in Boulder, CO. for "stridently defending their right to walk around in public nearly naked." They were detained for questioning by the Secret Service in Marblehead, Ohio after a waitress overheard Robert Pierce say he was going to “kill Obama and take him down,” according to the Daily Camera. Employees at the cafe described the pair as "very unstable."

Police found a disassembled .22-caliber rifle in the trunk of the pair’s rental car, along with .22- and .38-caliber ammunition, but neither were arrested or charged.

The Pierces are known for gardening in nearly nothing: Catherine, 55, is often topless while her Robert, 62, wears nothing but a thong. The couple live near a school and parents have filed numerous complaints about the duo's failure to cover up.

They're not actually breaking any laws: since the 1980s, it's been legal in Boulder for women to bare their breasts in public, but enough people complained about the Pierces that, in 2010, the city council considered changing the law. The couple filed a lawsuit seeking $100 million in damages, claiming harassment by neighbors and police.

Robert Pierce has told the police that he was the illegitimate son of former President Dwight Eisenhower. On her Facebook page, Catherine Piece lists herself as a “news personality” and claims to be the illegitimate child of late actor Robert Mitchum.

That's even more amusing since Eisenhower disliked Mitchum so much, he refused to have the bad boy actor's films show in the White House
