Florida woman threatened to kill Kamala Harris in videos, agents say

A longtime nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital has been charged in Miami federal court with making threats to kill Vice President Kamala Harris, which she recorded in a series of videos she sent to her husband in prison.

Federal authorities say the threats from Niviane Petit Phelps, a 39-year-old mother of three who lives in Miami Gardens, were serious enough that she practiced at a gun range and applied for a concealed weapons permit.

In the five videos, according to a Secret Service complaint, Phelps expressed rage over the victory of President Joe Biden and Harris. But political anger wasn’t the only motivation, according to the complaint.

with prosecutors. Surely what she sent him is contraband, if not something that link him to the threats.

That's what the Mindless would chant. I don't believe for a minute that she is no threat because she took too many actions in order for it to have been blowing off steam. Her attorney can blow this off all he wants, but this woman is crazy.

Goes to show God has a sense of humor.

That said, you're right. She made repeated and credible threats against the Vice President of the United States.

We can't have that.
