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.
Spot on!
With a PLASTIC cork! Hard to imagine the privations these dedicated public servants put up with for us.
I remember box lunches on the Clark-to-Travis run. Fifty years ago. I bet some of them are still around...
What’s funny about this is that we would plan refueling stops at Air Force bases because their box lunches were so good. If I got a standard AF box lunch on AF2, I’d be quite happy.
Does it smell like boiled cabbage and farts? THAT’S NOT THE FOOD!
weird
there has been an AF1 and AF2 for decades
first time i have ever heard complaints about the food
sounds like entitled brats
Sort of. I flew on Southwest a few days ago. They hand out little bags with an assortment of crackers and pretzel bits in them...but only if the flight is at least 176 miles long.
I like way you express truth.... 😁
Lulz
They are supposed to be serving our country.
Well, whatever they got they deserve worse.
There was a time in my life when I would have loved a soggy sandwich.................................
What?
No “Rice without Rice”?..........................
Air Force-2…is now Karen Airlines. Maybe they should be like Southwest. Just hand out a cup of water and a bag of snack mix. Would save some money.
Ha! Military flights provide Box Lunches - nicknamed Box Nasties ...
Box Nastie
His that Kamalas SS handle ?
Is a palace coup brewing in Obamala Harris’ office?
I doubt it....................
After hearing about filet mignon and cold beer being served on Air Force One, Air Force Two staffers expressed displeasure at how unappetizing and drab their meals looked in comparison.

I would propose the food workers are diversity hires, knowing how to prepare and serve food was far down on the job requirements.
Maybe, but that would certainly give the staffers access to the better AF1 food. As Biden’s decline continues, he will have to be put out to pasture soon, and many democRATS secretly understand that. Amendment 25 is waiting in the wings.
In America we used to call those snacks.
