Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem aired a video slamming Democrats in Congress for shutting down the government at airports across America for travelers to watch while awaiting Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening.
TSA employees are expected to miss a paycheck if the shutdown continues into next week. “As of Thursday, operations at airports have not been significantly impacted, but as the shutdown continues, sources at TSA say an increase in employees calling off work could increase and create longer wait times at airports across the U.S.,” Fox reports.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, one Senior Democrat aide even admitted that the Democrats will not reopen the government without their demands until we reach the point of “planes falling out of the sky.” This is arguably a terroristic threat in pursuit of their radical political agenda.
Democrats in the Senate, for nearly two weeks, have torpedoed seven different votes to fund the government as they demand taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals, continued funding for leftwing PBS propaganda, and $1.5 trillion in additional spending.
Noem’s video, which played for passengers at every airport in America on Thursday, credited the Democrats for potential delays and impacts to airport security operations.
However, Portland International Airport (PDX) is reportedly refusing to show the video, amid the city’s ongoing war with the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown and attempts to send the National Guard to Portland. A spokesperson for the Port of Portland claimed that the video violates the Hatch Act, which limits the political activities of federal employees and bars the federal government from engaging in partisan advocacy to influence an election.
It is unclear how this law applies to Noem’s accurate claim that the Democrats have repeatedly voted to shut the government down.
“Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay,” Noem, who oversees TSA as DHS Secretary, states to her audience of passengers and TSA employees.
“We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.”

It is TSA top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible, while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.
We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson predicted that the Democrats will likely continue voting against reopening the government for more than another week until after a scheduled “No Kings” protest against the Trump Administration on October 18.
Congressional Democrats are catering to the radical left groups organizing the October 18 protest after they “spent weeks pressuring Democrats to shut the government down,” Johnson said in a press release.
