“The best thing that could happen to America would be if Trump and Pence were on a plane that crashed and burned.” - Nikki Giovanni.
My mouth hangs wide, it takes me a minute to think of my next question. Nikki Giovanni, the famous poet and distinguished university professor makes me speechless. I want to talk about her nomination for the Maya Angelou Lifetime Achievement Award. We could chat about her friendship with Maya Angelou, or her NAACP Image Awards. I would even be eager to talk about her Grammy nomination or her love of literature, poetry, and cooking. I didn’t expect Giovanni to make such an explosive statement. But if she wasn’t true to herself, she wouldn’t be the Nikki Giovanni that readers adore.
Her words echo and clog up the air for moment. I disagree with Trump on almost everything. Yet, I wouldn’t have the nerve or the desire to wish him and Mike Pence a fiery death. Humanity is more important than politics.

Another dose of liberal civility.
Never heard of this “famous” person, but it is evident that her hatred of America is matched only by her unoriginality of thought.
That stopped being true for Democrats a long time ago.
The best thing that could happen to America is if Nikki Giovanni went to see a shrink. She obviously has some mental issues.
That’s what you get when you give confused women’s libbers the mike.
Well, at least the writer of the article appears to have had some common sense and decency. The left has always screamed that the “personal is the political,” so it’s very hard for them to just take politics as politics without screeching for the death of their opponents.
Receiving the Maya Angelou Lifetime Achievement Award is almost as good as being awarded the Snuffy Smith Two Toothed Ridgerunner Lifetime Achievement Award.
Looks like her face was on fire and someone put it out with a fire extinguisher.
She looks like a man at that link.
.
Yes, she does. It’s sad but weird at the same time.
Ok, I have no idea who this person is but let me take a wild guess and I am being perfectly honest here, I only read the title and a few sentences - He or she is involved in some way with a University. Just taking a gamble here to show how much damage our universities are doing today. If I am wrong I will eat my shoe.
so...she wants Paul Ryan as President. got it.
OK I was right, but it also said who she was in the first two sentences duh, but I really didn’t see that. It’s every time I read some extremely radical comment against Trump it always involves some psychopath from some university.
The most amusing part of this is that the Huff Post columnist is surprised that a “distinguished” professor and poet would hurl such ugly invective at Trump and Pence. Hello!! This has been going on for years against conservative politicians. This is probably one of the more banal death wishes. Its sad but it serves more to point out how childish and ignorant these allegedly distinguished Leftists are than anything else.
Fixed it.
