Some major airports across the U.S. are refusing to play a video featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown that has prompted significant flight delays.
Those airports are in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Charlotte, N.C., and Cleveland, Ohio, according to reports. Three airports in New York are also reportedly refusing to play the video.
"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," Noem said in the 37-second video obtained by Fox News.
The two northwest airports, Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) and Portland, told local FOX 13 Seattle their reasons for not playing the video.
