Kam death threat

- Joshua Rhett Miller

A Florida nurse has pleaded guilty to threatenin­g to kill Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming the VP isn’t “actually black,” authoritie­s said.

Niviane Petit Phelps, 39, of Miami-Dade County, pleaded guilty Friday, admitting she sent her imprisoned husband six 30-second video clips of herself in February, claiming she accepted $53,000 for the “hit” to be completed within 50 days, court documents show.

“Kamala Harris, you are going to die,” Phelps said in one clip, according to a complaint obtained by USA Today.

Phelps, who is black, told investigat­ors she made the threats because Harris, 56, who was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, wasn’t “actually black” and that the VP placed her hand on her purse rather than a Bible on Inaugurati­on Day, the complaint said.
