Fighting Local Ignorance

Candi Casey has been spreading the myth that 72 DHS employees are listed on the "Terrorist Watch List" and "No Fly List".

********************************************************************************************************************************

WHAT'S TRUE: An investigation by the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security found 73 airport workers may have been improperly vetted against a terrorist watch list.

WHAT'S FALSE: Mostly whatever comes out of Candi's mouth, but in this case, it's the following: 72 DHS employees were found to be on a terror watch list, the airport worker discovery referenced above occurred in December 2015, the head of the DHS was forced to resign over the scandal.
