CNN: Multiple airports refuse to play Kristi Noem video that blames Democrats for government shutdown

To some, the Trump administration is prone to use propaganda like authoritarian regimes in other countries. Some are fighting back. CNN reports that several major US airports - including those in Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle-Tacoma, Charlotte and three in New York - are refusing to play a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The video is intended to play at security lines, with Noem stating, “It is TSA’s top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe.” She also says, “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.”
