text: Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has revealed he has become an outcast at his vacation retreat on Martha's Vineyard, said Thursday one snob warned she wanted to "stab him through the heart."
  In remarks to Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Dershowitz said the threat came at a party at the summer destination for the rich and famous.
  "At a party this week at Martha's Vineyard [she] said, ‘'if Dershowitz were here tonight, I would stab him through the heart,'" he said. "This is a Martha's Vineyard woman saying she would stab me through the heart."
  MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte allegedly is the ringleader in a push to isolate Dershowitz because of his defense of President Donald Trump, the constitutional law expert said.
  But he added the effort is a flop.
  "He's leading the campaign to try to get other people to shun me in every way, and not to engage with me," Dershowitz said. "Now they're losing because the vast majority of people even in Martha's Vineyard . . . can't stand people who try to stop speech and try to stop debate, so it's backfiring."
  Dershowitz also said the liberal Vinyard rage is only helping Trump.
  "They are strengthening Donald Trump's hands," he said. "The people who try to shun me are giving Donald Trump and his base an argument about what the radicals are doing."
  Dershowitz added, however, he is not a total pariah on the party circuit — and would not mind if he was.
  "I don't care about parties," Dershowitz said. "I am invited to too many."
