The husband of Republican Sen. Deb Fischer (NE) went viral online in the worst way possible after refusing to shake the hand of Vice President Kamala Harris during a swearing-in ceremony on Monday.
Bruce Fischer held the Bible his wife placed her hand on as she took the oath of office, but rebuffed the vice president when she offered her hand in congratulations.
Here’s the video, which went viral overnight.
In response, Harris remarked, “It’s OK, I won’t bite. I’m not going to bite. Don’t worry.” But Mr. Fischer kept his eyes on the Bible and didn’t say a word, suggesting his actions were either intentional or proof of senility.
Afterward, Sen. Fischer shared photos of the event on social media, along with a message:
“Together we will continue to stand tall for our shared values and take care of our people. We will protect this nation. We will build a stronger Nebraska. And we will secure that brighter future for our children and grandchildren.”
But it was the refusal of her husband to shake an offered hand that drew the most reaction, with some suggesting Bruce Fisher had acted like a complete asshole.
