¶ Overview
Phony Roger Marshall likes to pretend he’s for the little guy. He claims that big banks, pharmaceutical groups, and big food companies “hate” him. He claims he is fighting to lower the cost of fertilizer for Kansas farmers. But behind closed doors, Marshall is happy to take money from his “haters,” and he even took money from fertilizer companies under investigation for price fixing. All while voting to continue the war with Iran, which has kept fuel and fertilizer prices sky-high for farmers and ranchers. Roger Marshall might talk a big game about helping everyday Kansans, but his corporate donors know where his true loyalties lie.
