"New York City-area airports are refusing to play Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's video blaming Democrats for the government shutdown - as Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed the DHS chief over the "false" and "nakedly partisan" message. John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia, and New Jersey's Newark Liberty International airports joined a growing list of travel hubs nationwide blocking the 36-second clip from broadcasting on TSA checkpoints due to its "politically partisan" remarks," according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey."
"The fiery clip, warning of disruptions and staffing shortages amid the shutdown, won't be shown at any Empire State airports run by state agencies or authorities, a government source added. The Port Authority - which also runs Stewart International Airport in Newburgh and Teterboro Airport in the Garden State - said Noem's video violates its "longstanding policies" banning political content from airing on airport-controlled screens."
Several New York City-area airports refused to play a 36-second Homeland Security video by Secretary Kristi Noem that blamed Democrats for the government shutdown. John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty blocked the clip at TSA checkpoints, citing Port Authority rules that ban political content on airport-controlled screens. Gov. Kathy Hochul called the message false and nakedly partisan and said New York airports would not run political ads. Noem sent the video to every public US airport; the clip warned of disruptions, staffing shortages, and that many TSA employees were working without pay.
