A video of a newly elected senator's husband seemingly avoiding Kamala Harris' handshake during a swearing-in ceremony went viral, sparking outrage and debate online.
Vice President Kamala Harris went viral this week for an awkward incident during a swearing-in of a newly-elected senator from Nebraska. As Harris warmly greeted Senator Fischer and her family, she attempted to shake hands with Senator Fischer's husband, Bruce Fischer. Senator Fischer then gestured for her husband to stand closer to the Vice President as he held the Bible for her to swear in on, but he seemed reluctant.
Harris, seemingly recognizing his hesitation, said, 'It's okay, I won't bite.' 'I'm not gonna bite.' Harris then reached out to shake Bruce Fischer's hand, but he handed his wife the Bible, avoided eye contact, mumbled 'thank you,' and placed his hand into his pocket. This incident sparked a lot of discussion online, with some users criticizing Bruce Fischer's behavior and others defending him.
