The email was a rehash of the supposed scandal of the Biden Administration selling off the overpriced material that Trump bought for border wall construction. One accusation that stood out to me was this:
Dear Friend –
What should Biden do with the taxpayer-funded border wall materials?
Let me know what you think:

Last year, I saw materials purchased with your tax dollars intended to build a barrier at the border Biden left to rack up dust. Ironically, with their own protective fence.
Now, his administration is selling off these parts for pennies on the dollar! Bids on Biden’s border wall bargain can be placed here.
“Pennies on the dollar” implies that the sale prices are a small fraction of the purchase price. I pointed out that had Trump paid fair market value for the material, President Biden could likely sell that material for nearly the same price, given that it is unused. Consequently, her accusation is an admission that Trump was using the purchases to line the pockets of his inner circle.
I hit a few other points in my reply, which follows:
Dear Senator Breadsacks:
Today, I received an email from you raising hell about President Biden's Administration selling materials that were allegedly purchased by the government of the U.S.A.
First, that bit of faux-outrage is months old. The least you should do is keep up to date on the many shifting stories you folks are spreading to maintain a level of outrage. After all, it's all you have as Republicans. You certainly can't point to any accomplishments over the past 7 years.
Second, Trump promised to make Mexico pay for your stupid wall. If Trump kept to his promises, the material would have been purchased by the Mexican government. So, was it? If so, the real scandal would be that President Biden sold material that belongs to Mexico.
But, of course, Trump and Ernst were lying about that promise all along.
It appears that in that case, President Biden is simply trying to recoup some of the money Trump wasted buying overpriced materials from his associates so that he could funnel government dollars into their overstuffed bank accounts with income upon which they will avoid taxation thanks to your debt-multiplying permanent tax cuts to the morbidly rich. How do I know the material was overpriced? Because if I take your very questionable word on it, it is being sold for pennies on the dollar. Had it been purchased for its fair market value, it would not sell for much less than was paid for it.
I support President Biden's disposal of the materials while they still have some value. It is a better policy than building a stupid wall. After all, immigrants aren't stupid, they now about boats and airplanes and overstaying visas.
Finally, I would suggest Congress - including yourself - spend a little time on addressing the real problems of the American people and quit wasting all of your time on these insignificant whiny BS letters.
Businesses still say they have a hard time finding workers. Perhaps if you passed a reasonable immigration bill, there would be more immigrants coming through regular channels and fewer sneaking into the country to fill the jobs that remain open. Years of record low unemployment in the United States are proof enough that our economy can absorb more immigrants and that the economy would be even more productive if we did.
But, no, you still want to pour gas on the racist fire of fear and loathing of immigrants.
That is why I consider you and the rest of the MAGA's to be the biggest hurdle for the United States to become an even better place.
Your actions are shameful and show a genuine lack of integrity. Republicans have become the party of graft and corruption.
Please resign.
