Doug Emhoff, the former second person, demonstrated just how strongly the remaining clings to rejected narratives during a ceremonial drink at the White House before Donald Trump’s opening.

The humor of this time was n’t become more apparent: Democrats frequently claim to be so concerned about “misinformation” yet constantly cling to rests long after they have been debunked.
The story is simple enough. Earlier in January, during a standard Senate room swearing-in meeting, former Vice President Kamala Harris offered her hand to Bruce Fischer. Harris even joked,” I’m not going to bite,” but Fischer simply responded,” Thank you,” without shaking her hand.
The picture of the second quickly went viral, and leftists latched onto the tale that Fischer had refused to stir Harris ‘ side out of contempt.
The fact was completely different. Fischer was n’t rejecting Harris; he was using a wood in one hand and holding a Bible in the other. But details hardly matter when the remaining smells an opportunity to vilify a Republican as harsh or possibly racist. Despite the fact being easily available, the popular lay persisted in democratic circles.
At the White House drink, Emhoff confronted Bruce Fischer, questioning why Fischer had tried to shake his hands when, in Emhoff’s confused mind, he had recently refused to stir Kamala’s side.

While Kamala Harris was smiling for the cameras back of President Donald Trump’s opening, Doug Emhoff was steaming – and not just about Monday.

And it was still on Emhoff’s mind on Monday: “ Why would you try to shake my hand, ” he told Bruce Fischer according to the person familiar with the interaction, “when you would n’t shake my wife’s hand? ”
This time, far from making Emhoff seem like the safe “alpha man” he good envisioned, just underscored the left’s reliance on false narratives to support their behavior.

What’s most revealing about this interaction is how it exemplifies the left’s addiction to misinformation, even as they proclaim themselves defenders of truth. They rail against “fake news” while eagerly embracing stories that fit their narrative, no matter how thoroughly debunked. Emhoff’s rehashing of trivial and false claims demonstrates how liberals become attached to fake stories.

It’s moments like these that remind us why trust in the media and political institutions is at an all-time low. When those who claim the moral high ground repeatedly demonstrate their willingness to twist facts, their credibility evaporates. Instead of letting go of a narrative proven false, they double down and seek to weaponize it.
The left’s refusal to give up on a debunked story about a simple misunderstanding at a Senate ceremony shows just how far they will go to cling to a narrative—truth be damned.
