With the government shutdown likely to enter a third week and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) refusing to call legislators back to Washington to sort it out, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is bravely taking a stand against... airports.
Specifically, Denver International Airport, which, along with 20 or so of the nation’s largest airports, is refusing to play a propaganda video at security checkpoints featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The video in question features Noem blaming Democrats for the shutdown and, by extension, for whatever travel hiccups may follow. (As a result of the shutdown, air-traffic controllers and TSA agents are being asked to work without pay.)
“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,” Noem says in the video. “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.”
Boebert called DIA’s refusal “completely unacceptable” in a social media statement on Wednesday.
