Florida woman faces five years in prison for threatening to kill Harris

A former Florida nurse is facing five years in prison after pleading guilty to threatening to kill Vice President Kamala Harris.

Niviane Petit Phelps, a mother of three, made multiple threats to Harris's life just days after she and President Biden were sworn into office. She created and sent several videos to her husband in prison in which she said she was paid to kill Harris and that the vice president's "days are numbered."

"Kamala Harris you are going to die. Your days are numbered already. Someone paid me $53,000 just to f--- you up and I'm gonna take the, I'm gonna do the job, okay," Phelps said at the time.

She was arrested in April after a criminal complaint was filed against her. On Friday, Phelps pleaded guilty to six counts of making threats against the vice president, according to the Washington Post.

1. Seems like everyday there is more right wing terrorism...

They really need to be treated as such.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Jesus, a nurse AND a mother.

[PatSeg]

3. She sounds seriously mentally ill

Definitely something wrong with her.

7. You would be surprised how many Jamaicans share her view about

Kamala not being black. I am not saying she isn't mentally ill, but that view is shared by many here.

8. That is really sad

So her South Asian ancestry automatically disqualifies her as black? That sounds racist in a very odd way. Hey, I remember people saying Obama wasn't black enough, like there is some kind of purity test.

Edit to add: What ever happened to "the content of their character" ideal?

10. You'd have to understand the culture

Obama has African hair so they'd give him a pass.

It is not about her South Asian mother- the vast majority of Jamaicans would not call her father black. Many laugh at those of us who identify as black.
And it has more to do with class and opportunities as opposed to an issue about race.

12. That's rather interesting, though kind of disturbing

[malaise]

13. All our post colonial societies are disturbing

in ways you can't imagine.
Anyway this lunatic belongs in prison.

[PatSeg]

15. Yes, that rather makes sense

[StarfishSaver]

14. It's very complicated...

[PatSeg]

16. It appears so

4. This is a weird freaking case

She apparently didn’t believe VP Harris was actually black, and they were of a belief Trump was going to release her husband from prison (probably goes to when there was a series of presidential pardons for some low level offenders)

Overall though, she sounds mentally ill. I feel bad for her family, who sound horrified by this.

5. Phelps is a Jamaican surname

although that could be her married name.
That stupid argument that Kamala is not black is a very popular view here.

You three little piggies three little bears are going need a lot of therapy.
