"She was just venting as she was going through a tumultuous time in her life,” Saul said. “It has been important for Ms. Phelps to demonstrate her acceptance of responsibility as she begins to atone for her aberrant actions.”

Phelps reportedly told investigators that the reason she made the threats against the vice president’s life was because she believed Harris was not actually Black – although Kamala has a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Phelps also believed that Harris placed her hand over her purse instead of on the Bible when she was sworn into office back in January.

According to court documents, Phelps applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon on her person, although it is not known if that permit was granted.
