DENVER (KDVR) — Representative Lauren Boebert is speaking out after the Denver International Airport said it will not be playing a video sent out by the Department of Homeland Security regarding the government shutdown.
The airport has told FOX31 the video monitors can only display flight information and cannot play audio or video.
This video from the Department of Homeland Security has been sent to airports across the country. It shows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussing the government shutdown and its impacts on the Transportation Security Administration.
A spokesperson from the airport has told FOX31 they have not been asked to play the video.
In the video, Noem blames democrats for the federal government shutdown and the slowdowns at TSA. A sentiment Boebert echoes in a statement on X:
This is completely unacceptable. I will be contacting the Department of Transportation to demand action on airports refusing to show Secretary Noem’s video at TSA checkpoints. It is a fact that the Democrat shutdown is causing travel chaos. Their political games have left TSA officers and air traffic controllers unpaid, leading to delays and long lines for travelers across the country. The American people deserve transparency, efficiency, and an end to this shutdown—now.
Rep. Lauren Boebert via XA spokesperson from DIA confirmed with FOX31 that the only reason they were not playing the video is because of the technological capabilities of the airport, and no other reason.
In response to the statement, FOX31 was referred to the previous statement from DIA below.
TSA and FAA Air Traffic Control staff are required to continue working unpaid during a federal shutdown. That being said, we cannot guarantee that TSA and FAA staffing would not be affected. We recommend getting to the airport at least two hours prior to boarding time and checking with your airline directly for any updates on your flight.

Spokesperson from Denver International AirportMultiple airports, including those in New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix, said they would not play the video due to its political content.
