The Liz Cheney fist bump that will launch a thousand negative ads
Updated 1:04 PM ET, Thu April 29, 2021 (CNN)It happened so quickly, you might have missed it.
As President Joe Biden made his way toward the House dais to deliver his speech on Wednesday night, he and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyoming) exchanged a very brief fist bump.

Like I said, it was brief. Cheney was one of at least 20 people and that is a low-end estimate whom Biden fist-bumped or elbow-bumped on his way to the podium. (The two also appeared to exchange some sort of pleasantry that was inaudible, at least to me.)
Cheney, who has come under sustained attack from within her own party for having been one of very few Republicans to criticize Donald Trump for inciting the 6 January Capitol insurrection, posted on Twitter that she strongly disagreed with the Democratic presidentâs policies.
âBut when the President reaches out to greet me in the chamber of the US House of Representatives, I will always respond in a civil, respectful & dignified way. Weâre different political parties. Weâre not sworn enemies. Weâre Americans.â
