Some staffers of Vice President Kamala Harris can’t stomach their job duties.
And it’s not just the veep’s leadership style.
It’s the food aboard Air Force Two — the vice president’s official aircraft.
Harris staffers are calling the meals — served by military personnel — “horrible slop,” according to a Politico report Friday.
“It’s a little more Southwest Airlines than Four Seasons,” one former staffer said.
Harris staff and alumni have received soggy sandwiches, cold pasta salads, and unappetizing spinach breakfast burritos, Politico reported.
Politico did not report what food is served to Harris herself, or whether it’s different from what aides receive. However, those who are served the rank-and-file meals “take three bites of whatever is there and drop it on the table or put it back in the bag,” according to the former staffer.
Another former Harris aide was blunt in comparing the experience of traveling on Air Force Two with that of Air Force One, the president’s airplane.
“Everything sucks compared to AF-1,” the aide told Politico.
“It’s so much more sophisticated and professional.”
The former aides praised the military members who provided the meals, according to Politico, but said they also tried to avoid eating on the plane — bringing their own food or waiting until after a flight to eat.
Aboard Air Force Two, the “slop” is just one more source of discontent for the staffers.
Harris’ office has seen far more turnover than that of President Joe Biden himself — with some former aides of the vice president pointing to her leadership style and personality.
Those who worked with Harris in various capacities have criticized her style as toxic — accusing her of behavior ranging from laziness to downright abuse of subordinates.
The lackluster in-flight rations apparently pale in comparison to what’s available on Air Force One — the jet used by the president.
However, Harris staffers who envy those who fly with the president himself do have one thing going for them.
Government travelers who make the cut aboard Air Force One have to pay for their own in-flight meals — and the price can add up.
According to Politico, the former Harris aides contacted the news outlet about the Air Force Two food after it published a March 28 article that described the eating conditions aboard Air Force One.
The takeaway from that piece: Air Force One’s food is much better, but the staffers are charged for it — without the option of not eating.
“One former Biden staffer estimated that a day trip could run anywhere from $17 to $50 in food and drink, and that’s not including additional snacks or special dietary requests like vegetarian options,” Politico reported.
Ah yes, I had the lasagna...
That’s jacked up
“How dare you give me peasant food! Don’t you know who I am?”
They were expecting Wahoo Steak???
Guess people on AF1 can’t bring their own food on board.
So quit.
And in 10-15 years, as these entitled, spoiled children continue to climb the greasy pole in Washington, they will be in charge of policy towards serious countries like China, India and Russia
As this has been going on for at least 30 years, you can see the true danger people like this have put us in.
I'm going to guess that if they order food they get charged, even if they don't wind up eating it.
I'm also guessing that the food for staff on AF-2 comes out of Kamala's office budget, and she is cheap.
Well, there ya go.
I neither like them nor dislike them. They’re just sort of “meh” to me.
I have, however, on a few occasions been very glad to have one.
So serve ‘em up to these “staffers” and let them be grateful.
He had the fish...................
Spinach breakfast burritos? Oh, the horror! I thought these RATS were all into healthy eating!
bttt
By warming the sandwiches slowly in their armpits? LOL
She’s a sloppy slut.
Years ago, I taught a student pilot that eventually flew on AF-1/AF-2.
Smart guy. Great pilot.
Food is excellent, prepared by chefs and as far as bringing their own food. . .not a big deal. You travel as much as they do, many will bring their favorite foods.
You sit in the back you get coach food.
This fussing is akin to a bunch of immature children and, obvious to me, Kamel Toe and staff are feeling disrespected and offended because they are not on AF-1 and being fed non-AF-1 food.
Crybabies.
When I was in the Army we called the Army food “The Suck”. They should give them MRE’s instead.
Southwest has meals?
Lol, “Meals on Heels”
We must be related.
