Earlier this week, new members of Congress were sworn into office by failed presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, and, true to form for Democrats, they have found something to harp about already, namely the husband of Sen. Deb Fischer. Apparently, the husband of the Nebraska GOP senator was called out by people who have too much time on their hands for allegedly refusing to shake hands with Harris.
However, nobody seemed to take the time to actually look into the situation before just jumping to wild conclusions. If they had, they would have discovered the man had his hands full and was simply unable to shake the vice president’s hand. But hey, when have leftists ever allowed the truth to get in the way of crafting false narratives designed to make Republicans look like jerks?
“The viral lie-spreading began on social media just as soon as the moment was caught on video, but the biggest superspreader was podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, who rather hilariously hosts a show called ‘No Lie,'” The Western Journal reported.
“The husband of a Republican senator just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris,” Cohen remarked, airing a clip that allegedly showed Fischer’s husband Bruce left Harris out in the cold. “The level of class you can expect from MAGA.”

Pretty soon, every low-rent leftist personage on social media — from @JoJoFromJerz to Harry Sisson — got themselves in a lather over this:
WARNING: The following posts contain language that some readers will find offensive.
This is Bruce Fischer, husband of GOP Senator Deb Fischer. He refused to shake Vice President Harris's hand while his wife was being sworn in for another term.

Not shaking the hand of the Vice President is not a flex, it’s just embarrassing. Shame on Deb Fischer’s husband for refusing to do so. Kamala Harris was a class act as always. pic.twitter.com/4nDWyZ2btn

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

It remains one of the great ironies on this website that you call your show "No Lie" pic.twitter.com/N1Wxowzn6W

It’s clear from watching the video that Bruce looks down, tries to put the Bible he was holding in his left hand to his side, but given that Harris hadn’t noticed the cane and had extended her right hand, that wasn’t going to work, either. So they just lined up for a photo and went merrily along their way. It’s here worth noting that the administrative apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Remember when, before he was vice president, Biden asked a wheelchair-bound state senator to “stand up, let them see you?”
It’s mind-blowing, truly, how much the radicals on the left love to rewrite history. They’ll do anything to manipulate the emotions of individuals who consume the content they create, hoping to get them on their side and cast ballots for them in the next election. It’s always about the next election, right? I think you know it’s true.
If only they would focus on actually helping Americans instead of lying every time they breathe.
