Republican's husband goes viral after refusing to shake Kamala Harris' hand

Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer's husband appeared to snub the VP during a ceremony on Friday.

A video showing the husband of a Republican senator refusing to shake Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' hand took off online Monday, after the awkward moment in the Senate on Friday.

The clip, showing Senator Deb Fischer's husband Bruce turning down Harris' offer, was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, who said it showed "the level of class you can expect from MAGA".


The Fischers lease 11,724 acres of federal land in north-central Nebraska for about $4,700 for seven months — paying about $110,000 less than the market rate for private land in Cherry County.

Fischer defended the federal grazing program, saying ranchers help the government manage federal land. She also said the family follows all federal regulations and doesn't have a say in how much it is charged.

"We don't negotiate a price. The price is set," said the lawmaker, who was raised in Lincoln and moved to the Sand Hills after marrying rancher Bruce Fischer.

Managing federal lands for the grazing program costs federal taxpayers about $140 million a year and the government collects about $21 million in grazing fees, according to a 2005 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

Program critics, including the Nebraska Wildlife Federation, would like to see grazing fees put up for public auction or otherwise adjusted nearer to market value. Others would like to see all cattle removed and the land managed entirely for native wildlife and the broader public.
The last major effort to increase federal grazing fees failed in Congress in the 1990s after ranchers fought a proposal by then-President Bill Clinton to overhaul the system.
Few ranchers in Nebraska hold federal grazing rights. Only 136 of Nebraska's 20,000 beef producers hold them.
 
It's been clearly shown that Bruce Fischer was holding a Bible in his left hand while his right hand held a cane which was supporting him. Thus, no free hand to offer Kamala. Non story.
 
This is already covered in another thread (and the topic title here is baffling — bite him?), so will merge into the existing coverage.

holy shit, you are shameless. arguing about something that was recorded for the world to see and is shown like 5 posts above yours itt.

he immediately passed off the bible to his wife and had every opportunity to shake KH's hand and look her in the eye. his behavior was akin to that of a 3 year old throwing a tantrum.

They really are going to hound this poor man to the end of his life, aren't they? And not because he's evil or did anything wrong, but simply because he is a dreaded "expert" who supported masking requirements and shutting down businesses and schools (based on common sense and the best medical evidence) and vaccine requirements, and so he has become the symbol for MAGA Nation of everything and everyone that they hated about the pandemic. And for that terrible crime they want him thrown in prison.

So he’s just another MAGA man who can’t support himself. Lame.

that he needs a cane shouldn't be criticized.

rouser lied - kamala literally still has her hand out for him to shake after he hands the bible to his wife.

he had every opportunity to shake her hand and refused, full stop.

Fair point. It was a (very poor) attempt at a humorous double entendre. Post deleted.

don't beat yourself up, i know your intent wasn't evil or ableist.

i just think its important that we not lose sight of or minimize what happened here - mr. fischer threw a weird, gross toddler tantrum and refused to shake vice president kamala harris' hand.

No, he took his hand and put in his pocket rather then shaking. And believe the still photo of all four show his hand in his pocket.
