This is what took place on Friday when Nebraska U.S. Senator Deb Fischer was being sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris. Her husband, Bruce Fisher, is a professor at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Look at what this bastard did. Thank you. Thank you. Is it okay if I grab? In the middle? No, no. It's okay, we're white. We're gonna fight. Don't worry. Okay. Do you solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States?

I do. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations to you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your work. Thank you. Congratulations to you. Thank you. Thank you. Sure. Okay. That makes the little bit.

There you go. Thank you so much. Ready? One, two, and three. Hold it. Ready? One, two, and three. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Okay. One second. OK. Now, Bruce Fisher had a cane in his right hand and some of the people out here trying to defend him by saying, oh, where the can is right hand. Well, he had a Bible in his left hand and then his wife took the Bible. He could have easily shook the vice president's hand with his left hand. He wouldn't even look at us. We're going to play the video again. I want you all to see y'all. He didn't even want to stand next to the vice president. He wouldn't even look her in her eye. He quickly looked up and look right back down. Did not even want to look her in. He had total contempt for this black this. Is it on the ground? In the middle? No, no. It's okay.

We're white. We're going to fight. Don't worry. Okay. We're white. Okay. Do you solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States? I do.

Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your work. Thank you. Congratulations to you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm sure.

Thank you so much. Ready? One, two, and three. Hold it. Ready? One, two, and three. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Okay. One second. Bruce Bichon's been getting ripped all across social media. And you saw right there, it was all for everybody to see, Teresa. I mean, the vice president immediately picked up on his nasty demeanor, his evil demonic spirit. And she said twice, it's OK, I'm not going to buy it. Yeah, honestly, you have to laugh in order to you know not cringe but honestly it looked like he it looked like they had a uh him and the wife had a conversation before he had to come out and hold the bible in the cane because he looked like he barely wanted to beat it himself so it's like you know he maybe he's jealous of the white i don't know what's going

on behind the scenes but that looked like a whole nother situation that came to the forefront. But again, it shows that Vice President Kamala Harris, you know, is a woman of distinction, leadership and excellence. And it's unfortunate. You know, these are the things that we have to go through as black women, as women in leadership. It doesn't matter what rooms we put ourselves in, what titles we have is just going to happen. So it's either you have to know who you are in order to make sure that that really doesn't penetrate, but it is what it is. And you can just pray that the person that's holding the Bible is actually

reading it. Well, I mean, I'm a Congo. I mean, this, I mean, I don't know, whatever the hell happened between them. She had to basically tell him, stand here. He did not want to be near the vice president. I mean, it's just like, you know, as they say, school on Sunday,

right? No class. At the end of the day, these guys have just don't have it in any way, shape, or form. And also being a professor, I can't imagine walking into my classroom with my students and having them see me do something like that, to be ashamed to stand next to somebody, to look like I'm disgusted by somebody, not extend a hand to the vice president. Why didn't he just choose to not get up on stage?

You know what I'm saying? It's like he wanted to get up there and embarrass her in some way, shape, or form. And I'm sure with his followers and his people, he's the talk of the town. People are loving him. I'm glad that everybody else is recognizing the unprofessional nature, the disrespectful nature of this. And really, at the end of the day, I cannot wait for January 21st, you know, where Vice President Harris can be done with all of them. Folks on the Biden side who did it wrong, folks on the Republican side who did it wrong, all of the dignity that she's had to show, just all of it, just to be out and just do her thing. Because these guys, like I said, they're sore winners. Like, how hard would it be for you to shake her

hand, right? They have to rub it in in every way, shape, or form. But I commend her. I mean, this is like the political version of Ruby Freeman and Shay Ma. It's just like, keep going, keep nonstop, dealing with all the drama. And kudos to her. But this is classist. And he deserves every type of reprimand that he's getting online. Because even if somebody is supposed to be a leader of students, because he's a professor, he dropped the ball entirely.

And I hope that they don't forget that also. Julianne? That man is a classist piece of ish. professor, he dropped the ball entirely. I hope that they don't forget that also. Julian? That man is a classless piece of ish. Totally classless. A poor role model and his wife ought to be ashamed of him. She ought to whip his behind when they get home. Not because

she's on different political sides but as Oba Kongo said, it would not kill him to simply shake somebody's hand. There's that song, what used to be a time at the ballgame, the winner took the time to shake the loser's hand.

He couldn't do that. He couldn't show basic, common decency. And, you know, I don't even know, he should have stayed home. He simply should have stayed home because this is absurd. But as Teresa said, these kind of slights happen to Black women all the time. You could see the shock on Kamala's face. There was shock on her face. It was like, what the, you know, is going on here? But she handled it. She handled every sling and arrow that has come to her.

She's handled it with grace, with dignity, with a lot more than many of us could sum it up, you know, under the circumstances. So I can say, I look over Congo, I want her to live her life like it's golden. If she wants to run again in 28, good for her. If she wants to run for governor of California. Good for her. But the amount of foolishness that she's

had to deal with in the course of her vice presidency, but certainly in the course of the election and its aftermath, that amount of foolishness is crazy. I hope that Doug takes her to a nice island and she gets a G.I.A. and comes to a nice island and

chill out for a couple weeks and just you know what those people and their hatred and their hatred how can you be so hateful and should not shake your hand well that's exactly what it is i mean it's pure hatred uh on their part uh and his actions are shameful uh and frankly uh i i really hope that that Fisher people keep blowing up, folks just keep blowing up, blowing up her social media, letting her know how shameful and trash her husband is. And as somebody posted this tweet, so let me let me let me find it, because, you know, I'm just saying, you know, these things are these things are important.

And as I said, he is a professor at the University of Nebraska. So if any of y'all you know, this was posted by James Felton Keith.
