Deer in the headlights moment for CNN. After weeks of nonstop coverage blaming President Trump and Republicans for TSA workers going unpaid during the DHS shutdown, the network was forced to READ the news that Trump is now signing an executive order to pay them. This was the Democrats’ only leverage — and now Trump just took it away. CNN: “Breaking news in our politics lead. President Trump has just posted that he’s ordered the Department of Homeland Security to, quote, immediately pay our TSA agents.” “Although it’s not entirely clear how that will work or what authority he’s utilizing for that order.” “I want to get straight to CNN’s Kristen Holmes from the North Lawn of the White House. Kristen, I know this is just happening. We’re trying to figure lots of things out here. What do we actually know right now?” HOLMES: “We’re asking all the same questions that you are. So I do want to get straight to the Truth Social post, because that’s where, of course, he put this news, as he is want to do.” “This is what he wrote: ‘I am using my authority under the law to protect our great country, as I always will do. Therefore, I’m going to sign an order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA agents in order to address this emergency situation and to quickly stop the Democrat chaos at the airports. It’s not an easy thing to do, but I’m going to do it.’”
