Airports in more than a half-dozen U.S. markets have declined to display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames congressional Democrats for the government shutdown and any related travel delays, citing the political nature of its content, according to local authorities. Officials that oversee airports serving Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, said the video could violate internal policies that bar political messaging or contravene state or federal laws that prohibit the use of public resources for political activity. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport. Enacted in 1939, the Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in politics while on the job and is meant to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion. Oregon law also precludes public employees from promoting or opposing political parties during working hours, Prescott said, noting: “This is the first time to our knowledge that the Port has declined to play a video.”

Is she posing in front of a group of caged travelers during the message?

Bow, or Kristi Noem will fire her gun into your face, point blank. That's how she "dealt with" her own young dog's puppy antics, why should you be treated differently?
Enough of this woman and her "we will get you" public service announcements. High time we took cable providers to task for broadcasting this propaganda.

Her boss is a convicted felon and likely a pedophile.

I hope Molly Prescott's taxes are in order, because you know what's coming.

Maybe the airports get Tina Fey to impersonate Puppy Killer Noem and film a comedy routine?

In every movie where a public place has a government face saying the same message on a loop, the government is the bad guy
