TSA Video Featuring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Triggers Some Airport Officials Into Posting Signs

Posted • October 16, 2025: At airports around the country, near TSA check points, a video is being played featuring Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem asking travelers to be patient because many of the employees are currently working without pay. Oh, one more thing: In the video Noem also reminds travelers that the federal government is shut down because of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. It's caused airport officials to post signs like this one in Detroit, These signs have just been put up at Detroit Metro Airport. https://x.com/DaveBondyTV/status/1978659164629962860 —— "The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics." Sorry but I chuckled at that because Detroit Metro has two terminals and they're both named after Democrats. Also there's a road leading to the airport named after John Dingell. Heaven forbid things get political in and around that airport!

Some airports are refusing to run the video which is basically telling the truth about why the federal government is at least partially shut down. —— ABC News 4 @ABCNews4: “Photo evidence confirms that Charleston International Airport elected to run the controversial video by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, which was deemed "too political" for several airports throughout South Carolina and the country.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3VH4GmWMAA5RdN?format=jpg&name=large —— Dems are triggered… again: —— ABC News @ABC: “Democrat senators are alleging that the Department of Homeland Security potentially violated the Hatch Act by asking airports across the country to play a video featuring DHS Sec. Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the impacts of the government shutdown.” https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1978568967242285056/NpAZwDIY?format=jpg&name=large —— Here's the video that's caused a triggering at some airports:

🚨 This DEVASTATING video is playing at every public airport nationwide after Democrats shuttered the government. DHS Sec. Kristi Noem: "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." —— Yikes. Yet another blow to Chuck Schumer and the Democrat brand. There's really nothing in that video that isn't true, but I realize the truth is the enemy of the Democrats (and apparently a lot of airport officials around the country).
