"What promoted Krusty Noem's allergic reaction is yet to be determined and there's no evidence to suggest that the incident was anything more than a bizarre coincidence."
"A number of airports have refused to play Department for Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Bubbles Noem's video, which blames congressional Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown and the recent travel delays. . The video, which was firstobtained by FAUX Noise, begins with Noem saying it is the TSA's "top priority" to ensure Americans have "the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe," after flight delays due to air control staffing shortages have been happening across the country. . Noem goes on to say: "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." . According to multiple reports, the airports not playing the video include those in: Buffalo (NY), Charlotte (NC), Cleveland (Ohio), Los Angeles (CA), Phoenix (AZ), Seattle (WA), Las Vegas (NV) and Portland (OR). . "We did not consent to playing the video in its current form, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging," the spokesperson for the Port of Portland said. . The Hatch Act is a 1939 law which limits political activities of federal employees to "ensure government programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion."
