From the Washington Examiner: Republicans bashed Vice President Kamala Harris after her plane circled an extra 15 minutes so she could watch second gentleman Doug Emhoff’s speech.
Emhoff was one of the star speakers on the second night of the DNC, speaking ahead of former first lady Michelle Obama and former President Barack Obama. Harris was flying at the time of his speech, coming back from a campaign stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to CNN, Air Force Two circled the airport for 15 extra minutes so she could watch her husband’s speech uninterrupted.
Republicans were quick to accuse Harris of hypocrisy, given her stance on climate change.
Nick Sortor seized on the video of CNN’s report, and wrote, “JUST IN: Kamala Harris demanded her plane circle in the air for an extra FIFTEEN MINUTES so that she could listen to her husband speak at the DNC tonight. Democrats are HYPOCRITES. What happened to the whole “climate change” thing? 🤣”

“It’s a 90 minute drive from Chicago to Milwaukee. Why did she take a plane to begin with?” one person questioned.
