Shortly after a video emerged of Vice President Kamala Harris not saluting troops while boarding Air Force Two on March 19 in Georgia, some users took to social media to claim that she had disrespected the military and violated protocol.
The viral video being shared on social media shows the vice president at Dobbins Air Reserve Base near Atlanta heading up the stairs on Air Force Two. Harris is seen walking by two military escorts who are standing at the bottom of the stairs saluting, without her returning the gesture.
One user shared the video to Facebook on March 23 with the claim, “DISGRACEFUL: Vice President Kamala Harris refuses to salute the honor guard at the steps of the aircraft. It is a clear demonstration of her dislike for those in uniform, both law-enforcement and military.”
The same video and text was first shared on Twitter by former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik on March 22 in a tweet with over 9,500 likes and 4,900 retweets.

This morning another video surfaced where Kamala Harris this time gives some sort of “salute” to the marines before climbing up the stairs to “Air Force None”
The video ends with the VP climbing the stairs but it appears that there is no plane even do there is an engine sound in the background.
Video below:
People online started speculating about the government filming the VP and President’s public appearances:
Our team can’t confirm when was the video filmed, but as soon as we have more information we will update the article.
> If she’s not in the military chain of command, the soldiers should not be saluting her. <
That thought occurred to me as well. I guess it’s some kind of courtesy. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t be done.
True it’s like seeing a bad magic act.
Since the military is WOKE ...
bfl
The president is commander in chief and is required to salute. As far as I can discern, the VP only salutes out of respect for the Armed Forces and she probably doesn’t have any.
Cackling Kamala cackling at her finest.
What’s the point?
I assert that she’s so aloof that her Chief of Staff arranged to have her “practice” boarding the aircraft and her salutes.
IOW, the aircraft is genuinely missing and what we’re seeing is leaked video of “VP Training of Official Protocols”, perhaps implemented for the first time for reasons supposedly obvious to those here.
I didn't make the comment "If not altered, the video is a definite curiosity, as there should certainly be an aircraft’s forward fuselage in that shot.". Spirit of Liberty did. I was/am still trying to figure it out.
No shadowing.
“Some people need to get a real life.”
You go first!
Actually, I made that comment. The plane is missing. And I don’t agree with the tin-hat, disappearing plane line.
It was just a static set of stairs for the dumbass POTUS-to-be to practice keeping her legs from doing the saluting and help to not make an ass of herself like Biden did.
Occam’s Razor.
Yup, I see that know. I had it right the first time I replied, putting your name first.
How could you believe the plane was missing? They stopped the video at just the moment the plane should come into view. Is that coincidence or deliberately done? Use a little logic.
Flunked out of geometry, eh?
Who is counting the votes?????????
She and her comrades will find a way to get rid of him probably before his first term is up.
I learned about perspective and point of view in art classes. Clearly the video camera is positioned at just the right point to be beyond the frame. It's not rocket science but it is perception.
marines?
Maybe the officers are fake too.
