Senator Deb Fischer’s husband refuses to shake Kamala Harris’s hand

A resurfaced clip of Nebraska Republican Senator Deb Fischer’s husband refusing to shake Vice President Kamala Harris‘s hand has gone viral on social media.

Many have slammed Bruce Fischer for his interaction with Vice President Harris after a video clip began circulating online, some pointing out the racial and gender implications of the exchange.

Political commentator Reecie Colbert wrote on X, “I’m tryna figure out why these MAGA … are still so mad? They won all the top prizes but they are still stank and rotten.” She added, “There’s no clearer example than Republican Bruce Fischer disrespecting VP Kamala Harris during his wife’s swearing in. She was gracious in that moment.”

Harris should have said "fine, be an asshole".

First thread from yesterday was better.

And it’s still the case that a man fully using a cane in one hand and holding a book in the other couldn’t shake anyone’s hand at that moment. When people create a lie and peddle it, like they have in this case with the false claim that Fischer’s husband didn’t want to shake Harris’ hand, they shouldn’t create a lie that is so blatant and so easily disproven.

And he refused to look up. So the argument that his disability prevented him from shaking hands is a lie.

That is guilt causing that bad behaviorm

And it seems like he said something rather nasty to her when she first greeted him

When they go low, you go high, and they go still lower.

Don't you understand there is no low to their low.

What nonsense. He didn't need the cane for support for two seconds.

He did not look at the VPOTUS in that exchange. More magat filth.

r4 Has embarrassed herself

R4 - Sure, Yuri...I mean, Jan

He didn't just disrespect Harris, he embarrassed his wife, who was perfectly cordial to the VP.

"Hey, honey, how about I start a flap about what a rude fuck I am just as you're sworn in?"

"Fantastic!" nobody ever said in response to that question.

lol I taught her to shake hands with the air lol

Fran Drescher’s husband refuses to shake Kamala Harris’s hand?

I thought he was gay.

I don't think his wife was embarrassed probably because she knows he had a stroke a little while ago. You're a bunch of Clueless uninformed ghouls

Childish

Attacking a stroke survivor for his disability is more than childish.

Like Trump’s famous imitation of a reporter with MS

Or Limbaugh’s imitation of Michael J. Fox?

Fischer is a cunt. Typical Nebraskan voting against their best interests. Comes from wealth of course. Making sure the lives of the piss-poor people that inhabit the state stay as low class and broke as possible. Voters seem to love it!

I did a Google News search on “Deb Fischer” and time range of past week and I don’t see any of the higher level news organizations reporting on the story. I do see bottom feeders like Huffington Post, Daily Mail and Newsweek running with it.

There are no "nigher livel" news organizations in today's America. The billionaire parasites have seen to that.

R15, it was a stroke that prevented him from smiling, looking at the VP or otherwise acknowledging her presence?

Maybe he should have stayed home with his nurse?

R21 Because reputable news agencies usually don’t let viral clips create a narrative. Shit is so fucking stupid. A stroke victim holding a cane in one hand and a Bible in the other. And I give no fucks about these old white MAGA cunts.

Stuff it R24. A real man would have shaken her hand regardless.

Why is he walking around with a bible?

Y’all voted against her; this is merely a sample of the ham fisted interactions that the incoming garbage will inflict upon us. And it will be worse than the first time.

Agreed.

People are saying, "Republicans won everything. Why are they still acting like assholes?"

It's because they didn't just want to win. They wanted to humiliate Democrats.

This is them treating the most prominent Democrat like garbage and trash.

They already beat her. Now they want to embarrass and humiliate her.

[quote] Why is he walking around with a bible?

Because it was a Congressional swearing-in ceremony for his wife, and they are allowed to bring in their own personal or family bible to the ceremony.

R26 It entitles him to treat people like shit. That’s what he was taught, and if you don’t agree with it apparently you’re a Marxist-Communist-Lizard Person.

They are all using their own special Trump Bible to take the moral high ground

Nasty racist fucker. Not into touching non-whites.
