Atlanta Airport Refuses to Air Controversial Video
The Atlanta international airport has joined a list of airports that are not airing a video from the Department of Homeland Security, in which Secretary Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the ongoing partial government shutdown.
- Other airports not playing the video include those in Portland, Seattle-Tacoma, Las Vegas, North Carolina's Charlotte Douglas, and three airports in New York.
"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. 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."
The video began showing in airport security lines last week, sparking controversy over its partisan message.
