Mediaite reports:
A clip of Vice President Kamala Harris swearing in Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) for her third term was still going viral, but not because of anything Harris or the senator did.
The exchange went normally enough with Harris leading Fischer in the oath of office, Fischer reciting it, and the two shaking hands as Harris thanked the Republican for all her work. Harris then turned to Fischer’s husband Bruce to shake his hand, which the senator’s husband bluntly refused to do.
The hardright website, the Daily Caller, shared the clip online Monday with the caption, “OUCH: Bruce Fischer, the husband of Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, does not shake Kamala Harris’ hand, leaving her flustered in a painfully awkward moment.”

It’s disgraceful that Bruce Fischer, husband to incoming GOP Senator Deb Fischer cannot muster a few seconds of class to shake the hands of @VP Kamala Harris. States.
IMO, only thing Bruce showed here was that pigs don’t only live on farms. He is a pig.pic.twitter.com/1Zo9uVpIaK

The husband of a Republican senator just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris.
The level of class you can expect from MAGA. pic.twitter.com/hTarflIqlw
