Former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff "refused" to shake the hand of the man who recently blew of his wife, former Vice President Kamala Harris — by refusing to shake her hand.
CNN's Edward-Isaac Dovere shared via X that ahead of the inauguration, Senator Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband, Bruce Fischer, "who went viral for his interaction w/Harris a few weeks ago—went to shake Doug Emhoff's hand Emhoff refused."
According to CNN, "a person familiar with the interaction" said, "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?"

Dovere notes in his report, Harris "and the senator were not involved in the interaction, though Bruce Fischer did later make his way back over to apologize, the source told CNN."
The CNN reporter added, "by the time they headed to the car to the Capitol, tempers had cooled and there was a cordial conversation which touched on golf, among other things."
