A Republican was swown into Congress and Harris extended her hand to the husband but he would NOT

[riversedge]

shake Harris's hand. She handled the situation well. I saw another tweet that said who it was but I can not find it now. Anyone know who the woman is??? Note that husband did not even make eye contact. Jerk to say the least.

Harris HQ

1. THat was the R congresswoman's husband? Looked definitely more like her father...

Whoever it was he's a Pr...k.

[orleans]

24. nebraska's deb fischer who was one of the tellers today to confirm the electoral certificates with amy klobuchar & 2 oth

others
so her husband seems like a real freak

[True Blue American]

52. My understanding is

He was walking with a cane, holding the Bible and was not able to shake hands. I think this story needs to be fact checked. Not hard to do. Did he have a cane?

[scarletlib]

54. In the video his wife took the Bible from his hand. So no excuse there.

[mercuryblues]

2. What a putz.

I hope his wife cheats on him, while he is home, and she's in DC.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. There's a RW term for that guy: Beta Cuck

[GoCubsGo]

29. I wonder if he'd enjoy one of the infamous Republican cocaine orgies.

He doesn't look like the type, but one never knows with these freaks.

[MagickMuffin]

3. White Supremacist with serious issues.

I don’t know who he is but he is a waste of oxygen!

[Emile]

37. Republicans are all hateful pieces of shit.

[spapeggy]

4. Prick

[Biophilic]

5. He is definitely a jerk, but he is also a coward.

Only a coward would refuse to shake her hand, especially when he can't even look her in the face. Yup, straight out coward.

[LiberalArkie]

6. Maybe he is afraid of touching a woman, or someone not whiter than himself. Something might rub off.

Normal first grader reaction.

[malaise]

9. I'll take

someone not whiter than himself for $10,000 Ken

[JohnSJ]

7. POS garbage, as are many of the congressional insurrectionist republican TRASH. You'll NEVER is the jackass

Bill Maher call these deviants out. That is only reserved for progressives.

[Biophilic]

8. Dang, I just looked at the video a second time. Now I can't keep from laughing.

I loved Kamala's facial expressions. Perfect.

[cbabe]

10. Remember the story t wouldn't let Black casino

employees touch cash because they had ‘dirty hands’.

[Omnipresent]

11. That man's name is...

Ebenezer Douch!

[Celerity]

12. It is Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer's husband

[Keepthesoulalive]

13. It must be that economic insecurity.

[JI7]

14. It might be a religious thing where he doesn't shake any women's hand

The woman who is actually the one being sworn in had no problem with it so I don't think it had to do with race or anything like that.

[unblock]

19. Harris obviously took it as he meant to be offensive.

I know a number of germaphobes who never shake hands. They fist bump or apologize or at least acknowledge the other person and explain themselves.

Could be race or gender, but certainly could be specific - she ran against Donnie, who likely is their exalted hero.

To be fair, I wouldn't shake Donnie's hand either, though I'd probably be even more obvious about it, turn my back or something....

[BeyondGeography]

49. Is there a religion that bans eye contact with women too?

That was just open hostility throughout.

(This was meant for the poster you were responding to.)

[Keepthesoulalive]

21. Please stop making excuses

He’s disrespecting a woman of color as so many white men did during the election. We should be outraged not trying to justify his disgusting behavior.

[UniqueUserName]

30. Any religious apologetics is disingenuous

If he was going to flout common courtesy and protocols in favor of his bigoted religion, then he should have chosen not to participate in a standard, common ceremony.

In other words, Fuck his religion if it encourages him to behave in bad behavior. Most religions are big on NOT intentionally offending other people.

[UniqueUserName]

32. Sorry, I was responding to the person who was making excuses /nt

[Keepthesoulalive]

36. No problem

[B.See]

35. @Keepthesoulalive. EXACTLY. He's

just another gutter variety, magat brained, hood wearing racist POS.

And there's plenty out there just like him.

Don't excuse these fkrs. Call them out, LOUDLY, for who and WHAT they are.

[still-prayin4rain]

50. If your religion says that you can't shake a woman's hand, that's a problem.

[sakabatou]

15. What an asshole

[bronxiteforever]

16. Kick for visibility of Nebraska hate.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

18. This is what pissed me off

When “liberals” like Bill Maher and Cenk Uguyr criticize the left and say that we shouldn’t disassociate ourselves with Trump voters, but a husband of a Republican Senator does something petty like this and the Twitter responses from Trump voters agree with his actions.

[surfered]

20. Well, at least, Harris avoided getting cooties from that guy.

[riversedge]

22. 'Senator Deb Fischer's creepy-ass, cadaver looking husband refused to shake Kamala Harris' hand. What a fucking loser...

Fisher is a repug 3rd term Senator from Nebraska!!

Senator Deb Fischer’s creepy-ass, cadaver looking husband refused to shake Kamala Harris’ hand.
What a fucking loser.
Grow the fuck up you freak.

23. I'm happy for Harris.

For not having to touch that bastard at all!! Makes my day for sure.

[Ilsa]

25. Before he audibly declined, I thought that maybe

he had mild dementia. His diagnosis of BFA¹ is so much worse, though.



¹ Being a Fucking Asshole

[surfered]

26. Bruce Fischer, husband of GOP Sen. Deb Fischer (NE)

[totodeinhere]

27. I would jump at the chance to shake VP Harris's hand.

I shook the hand of VP Hubert Humphrey in 1965. It was the honor of my life. I was a freshman in college at the time.

[louis-t]

31. I shook Humphrey's hand at a campaign stop in '68.

I was a young man of 12 and it ended up on the evening news.

[GoCubsGo]

28. Fucking coward is a fucking coward.

"Jerk" is being exceptionally generous to describe this petty, juvenile assclown. I have seen toddlers with better manners than that.

[Emile]

33. Disrespectful is in their DNA.

[Bluethroughu]

34. Nasty ashened man.

[SamKnause]

38. Republicans are a disgusting useless lot.

I can't find a kind thing to say about them.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. This asshole did shake Pence's hand six years ago

[Blue_Tires]

40. White folks...

Stay classy, Nebraska... 😕

[Keepthesoulalive]

42. This is going to be a rough four years

They don’t bother to hide it, they just let the racism flow.

[Blue_Tires]

46. They love making us suffer their little petty microaggressions

[Keepthesoulalive]

48. Like MLK said from the Birmingham jail

Our biggest problem are our so called allies. We know the Klan but when folks start to gaslight us about what racism looks like, on supposedly progressive media. They have us fighting on two fronts.

[Vinca]

41. There he stands, clutching his Bible, acting like leader of the Klan. Pig jerk asshole.

[Efilroft Sul]

43. Attention Bill Maher, please pick up the Liberal Scold phone in the Hypocrisy Lounge. Paging Bill Maher...

[Paladin]

51. Yeah, as if Maher would say a single word about this stupid incident. (nt)

[alarimer]

44. Why are they such terrible people?

Why be so fucking petty?

(I mean, I DO want Dems to be a little bit more confrontational, but not like this. I just want them to talk about the awful things Republicans do with every single speech).

[bif]

45. Just another low-class republican.

[True Blue American]

53. Do you see the cane in his right hand, Bible in the other?

Sorry, but the man was struggling to stand.
