The Trump campaign is sending fake bricks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in response to the standoff over border wall funding.
For $20.20 each, Trump supporters can send Pelosi or Schumer a faux red brick inscribed with information about why the campaign thinks a border wall is necessary.
“Weeks after the Democrats began stonewalling President Trump in his fight to secure our border, the American people now have a chance to send a clear message to Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi about the need to build the wall,” a fundraising email sent Friday read.
Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale said the bricks will teach the Democratic leaders “the truth about the crime, drugs, and human trafficking that result from open borders.”
“We’ll send the wall to them, brick by brick, until they agree to secure the border,” he said.
The White House has been in a standoff with Democrats over border wall funding, with each side refusing to budge. The government has been partially shutdown since late December as negotiations stalled.
