Airports Refuse to Air Kristi Noem's Shutdown Blame Video

Several airports across the U.S. are refusing to display a Homeland Security video featuring Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown, citing concerns it violates the Hatch Act which prohibits partisan political messaging using public assets. Many airports have opted not to show the video, emphasizing their policies against political content and the importance of nonpartisan public service messaging, especially during the shutdown which has caused staffing shortages at airports.
