Texas Lt. Gov Vows: We Will Buy Every Piece Of Border Wall Biden’s Selling And Give It To Trump
The Biden administration is racing to sell off parts of the border wall before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, and Texas GOP Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick fiercely declared his state was prepared to bid on every piece being sold and then give it directly to Trump.
“Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021. If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump’s flagship campaign promises at the border,”
The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as December 4 for precisely the types of materials being pulled off the border. GovPlanet has online auctions set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 for more of the border wall material, which is listed on the company’s website as “32.91’ X 7.91’ Steel Bollard Wall Sections w/Grout.” The bidding for each section of wall panels is set to begin at only $5.00, according to the website.
“We mean business in Texas, and Tom Homan means business and President Trump means business,” Patrick said. “And I don’t know if you heard the latest today, Joe Biden is now hauling off the border wall that’s been lying down for years and he wants to auction it off starting at $5 apiece.”
