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 find this difficult to fathom.
Perhaps the camera angle hides the small nose of AF2. A portion of the underbelly may be visible on the extreme right edge, under the walkway....which is why the salute was the focus of the story.
Problem solved.
Kamala would only be a pretender if she were to salute. She was never in the military and she is not in the chain of command of the US military. This issue with saluting is hog wash. Big deal, when Pence was VP he saluted... he was also a pretend CinC. He had no authority to return a salute and it was for show only. People need to find some other thing to talk about besides this nonsense.
You would be able to see the body and nose of either aircraft from the camera angle. Look under the stairs, no plane fuselage present.
Fake administration sending out propaganda, eerily similar to what N. Korea does.
They wouldn't be lefty libs if they were mentally sound. Same goes for all of them.
two different planes.
Yes, you’re right. Just now noticed the gold stripe at the front is different. Thanks.
Agree must be a sign of inbreeding or something on that line.
...however, although the gold stripe is different in each, are they actually different planes, or different years or models of the same?
This “administration” has been using green screen fake videos. This is not the first time they’ve been caught doing it.
...actually, that front door appears to be higher off the ground on one of them.
Bob Marley gets to the top step, then Willie’s mattress trips and falls to the ground.
Not only that but as the CIVILIAN head of the military, they’re not required to salute.
Gangplanks lmao Air stairs maybe
Maybe this was just practice, to see if see can do it without tripping?
A word i haven’t even thought about in years....
TWAT
A NASTY woman that NOBODY voted for in a presidential primary is soon to be the President of the United States...
>>Awhile back some FReeper commented that the VP is not in the military chain of command, and therefore should not be saluting anybody. That makes sense to me.
If she’s not in the military chain of command, the soldiers should not be saluting her.
Brilliant comment. Yes, of course you’re right. First, mock the people by showing something preposterous, like a stairway to nowhere. If the people complain, add in the airplane and throw the original images down the memory hole. Orwell’s 1984 was a how-to manual.
