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.
I was thinking the same thing, although I have never taken note of other VPs and do not know the protocol. (Not that I want to ever give Camel Toe a break.)
According to Army regulation, the president as the
commander-in-chief is required to receive a salute,
but there is no requirement that the vice president
receive a salute.
********
You would think that if she received a salute she would
have the respect to return the salute.
That flip of the arm was not a salute. Weak.
Please tell me she didn’t get to the top and fall off the end....oh, go ahead and humor me.
(she REALLY wants his job)
She borrowed Hillary’s Broom ?
“It’s a crime to keep information like this secret...”
Now that thar is funnie it is!!! :-O
Until Pres Reagan I never saw a POTUS return a salute. That’s back to Ike. It’s not protocol or tradition. POTUS is a civilian. If POTUS is expected to return salutes why is he not expected to salute during the National Anthem ?
So you’re suggesting that she’s boarding the plane’s nose?
Please post an image of the specs for that access point of ANY aircraft type at that height.
If not altered, the video is a definite curiosity, as there should certainly be an aircraft’s forward fuselage in that shot.
It looks to me to be video of Harris ‘practicing’ proper decorum for boarding AF1 and/or AF2, no conspiracy needed.
And righteous mockery is deserved in spite of fools like you.
Now she doesn’t have to worry about saluting or not. Just show the second video and it’s half-ass salute thingy with whatever plane she is boarding replacing green screen. THE PARTY OF LIES, don’t forget.
Not being in the chain of command, why is the Vice-President saluted by service members?
She learned from Occasional Cortex.
In related news:
Since January 20, 2021, FAA Call Sign “AF1” was used within the ATC system exactly one time. It was the morning of 1/20, and it flew POTUS Trump from Andrews to Florida. “AF1” has NOT flown since. I’ll note that officially, there are two aircraft specifically equipped to be “AF1”, if the POTUS is on them. Other aircraft (blue/white scheme) are in the presidential fleet that serve for other VIPs, and if POTUS flies in them, ATC refers to them as “AF1”. I repeat: “AF1” has flown ONLY ONE TIME. Any AND all aircraft flown by “Biden” (aka, BidAn) has been dubbed “NA” by ATC.
For call sign “AF2”, quite a different story. It has flown MANY times; perhaps with multiple aircraft. Strangely, there was one day where there were TWO planes in the air at the same time with FAA Call sign “AF2” - it was the day that Commie-La was traveling to Atlanta. The other one was westbound from DC. Don’t know where it went... but it was very odd, likely unprecedented.
She’s not one of us.
Given her professional political history she could flash them her boobs.
Two-term? Really??
