A TSA union rep thanked President Donald Trump on live CNN for paying federal workers during the government shutdown - and the anchor's face said everything Democrats don't want you to see.

Larry O'Connor breaks down the Democrats' government shutdown strategy, the TSA airport crisis, and the media meltdowns that followed Trump's DHS pay workaround.
