This is the kind of story that gives you a little hope for humanity. During what should’ve been a routine swearing-in ceremony for the 119th Congress, Bruce Fischer, husband of Republican Senator Deb Fischer from Nebraska, delivered a moment that had conservatives across the country grinning ear to ear. As Kamala Harris extended her hand for a friendly shake, Bruce gave her the coldest of cold shoulders. No handshake, no forced grin—just a curt nod, a glare, and a vibe that screamed I’d rather be anywhere else.
Now, let’s break this down because it’s not every day a senator’s spouse becomes an internet sensation. Social media exploded with users calling Bruce Fischer their “spirit animal.” One X (formerly Twitter) user summed it up best: “Guy wanted nothing to do with Kamala.” The clip spread like wildfire, with conservatives replaying it like their favorite movie scene. Some joked that Fischer deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which, honestly, isn’t a bad idea. After all, refusing to engage in fake pleasantries with Kamala Harris is the kind of energy we need more of in Washington.

But here’s the real kicker: the cold moment wasn’t just about Bruce Fischer. It’s a reflection of how Harris has become a political pariah, even within her own party. After losing to President Trump and essentially disappearing from public life, Harris has been in freefall. Her approval ratings have been in the gutter for years, and her strained relationships with Joe and Jill Biden haven’t helped. When she does show up, her performances often lack energy, giving off the vibe of someone going through the motions.
The fact that Harris was awkwardly snubbed during what should’ve been a ceremonial event only underscores her current predicament. Her tenure as VP has been marked by dysfunction and disapproval, and even Democrats aren’t clamoring to defend her anymore. Sure, there’s chatter about her running for California governor or giving another shot at the presidency, but let’s be real: her chances are slimmer than Bruce Fischer ever shaking her hand.
Bruce’s snub wasn’t just hilarious—it was symbolic. It encapsulated the frustration millions feel toward a political figure who has done little to earn respect or trust. In a city full of fake smiles and empty gestures, Bruce Fischer decided he wasn’t playing that game.
