DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas — Sarah Palin told a crowd of over 1,000 “patriots” gathered at the southern border in Texas Thursday that they would “take our country back” as the state’s National Guard has seized control of the country line from federal agents.
“The eyes of the world are on Texas right now,” Palin, 59, said to a cheering crowd at the “Take our Border Back” rally in Dripping Springs.
“Our federal gov is sanctioning to allow this invasion [across our border],” the former Alaskan governor said. “We’re going to take our country back.”
The Republican took to the stage at the massive rally packed with cars, buses and trucks decked in both American and Trump flags as well as dozens of merchants selling T-shirts, hats and more emblazoned with slogans like: “I stand with Texas, take our border back”, “F–k Biden” and a slew of pro-Donald Trump messages.
