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." This incident ignited a culture war on social media, illustrating how deeply partisan sentiments can shape reactions to simple acts of civility in contemporary politics.
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. Despite the respectful interaction, the awkwardness emerged when Bruce Fischer declined to shake hands with Harris, showcasing a divide that extends beyond individual actions.
