Video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for shutdown rolling out at TSA security checkpoints across the country

[In It to Win It]

In an extraordinary effort to inject politics into millions of Americans’ travel experiences, the Trump administration plans to roll out a video at airports across the United States that will blame Democrats for lapses in Transportation Security Administration workers’ pay because of the government shutdown.

People waiting in airport security lines will now be met with a new video of the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem addressing the shutdown.

“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,” she says. “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.”

[Ms. Toad]

1. Pretty clear hatch act violation. n/t

[Wuddles440]

4. So silly!

Don't you know that the Hatch Act only applies to officials who are Democrats.

[Ms. Toad]

6. A bunch of senators would disagree with you.

We'll see what happens.

[Wuddles440]

7. Are you serious???!!!

If so, you must have been asleep during his first administration. Bondi will never, ever prosecute anyone for such an offense committed by a Drumpf official.

[Ms. Toad]

11. Are you even aware of what I'm referencing? n/t

[yardwork]

9. Nothing will be done.

Government agencies are sending emails with the same message. People checking on the status of grant applications are getting messages blaming Democrats.

Congress has done nothing.

[Ms. Toad]

14. That is the focus of the complaint

Signed by 22 senators, IIRC.

[Wuddles440]

16. While I truly and sincerely appreciate your idealism,...

such a complaint will be summarily ignored as were past "sternly worded" letters that expressed disapproval of aberrant behavior. Norms, mores, civility, ethics, rules, regulations, and laws no longer apply to the felons, miscreants, sociopaths, and thugs now ruling over us.

[Ms. Toad]

18. What I said was that it was a violation of the Hatch act,

Which it is (the earlier ones were less clear), and that several senators had filed a complaint (22, IIRC).

I didn't point on how it would turn out, out whether they would be stopped.

But the damage is already done - and there is no statute of limitations. . . So it can be taken care of later.

[LexVegas]

12. That'll stop em. nt

[Ms. Toad]

15. No, but it adds to the complaint already filled by several. Senators.

And there is currently no statue of limitations for Hatch Act violations.

3. I seriously thought this was The Onion

unbelievable

5. Puppy Killer is a stochastic terrorist.

8. Just another excuse for hair and makeup

She loves to do these commercials and slobber all over Rump.

[Johonny]

10. Kristi has no ass

Because she's all hole.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Seems like very few are buying what she says

Outside of the MAGA morons.
