Vice President Kamala Harris was snubbed by the husband of a Republican senator on Monday, sending shockwaves through social media.
The person in question is Bruce Fischer, husband of Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska. He seemingly stook far from Harris before holding the Bible for her wife to take her oath for a new term as Nebraska senator, leading Harris to say "it's OK, I won't bite."
Harris sought to shake both her and her husband's hands after the oath. Deb did, but Bruce stood still, refusing the approach. Harris was seemingly surprised by the snub but reacted lightly, smiling and saying OK."

Social media users reacted differently to the scene, with Republicans praising Fischer's refusal to shake hands and Democrats criticizing him as petty.
Republicans also mocked Harris for having to preside over the session that certified President-elect Donald Trump's electoral victory and her own defeat, with Eric Trump saying it was "the best birthday present one could ever wish for."
GOP lawmakers also gloated on social media: "We just finished the certification of President Trump's historic victory. This is also a victory for MAGA as we declare we are coming back and are taking over this country, and we are going to destroy everything the Democrats have done for the past four year," said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a video right after the certification.
Here’s my MAGA message for J6!

Other lawmakers who joined the celebrations were Rep. Steve Scalise and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. The former said he was "honored to certify President Donald Trump's historic landslide victory today" and that he is "fired up to work with him once again to Make America Great Again."
The latter congratulated both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance, who was present during the certification process considering he is a senator for Ohio. "I look forward to working together to secure a brighter future for the American people," Thune said.
The certification process was conducted without inconveniences, a stark contrast with the same date four years ago, when Trump supporters invaded the Capitol in hopes of interrupting the certification of President Joe Biden's victory.
