The Western Journal: Libs Freak Out Because Elderly Man Holding Bible, Cane Couldn't Shake Kamala Harris' Hand
Following the swearing-in of Congress on January 6, 2025, social media erupted over a perceived snub by Bruce Fischer, husband of GOP Senator Deb Fischer, who allegedly refused to shake hands with Vice President Kamala Harris.
