Whinging White Men

Poor wittle Andrew.

Marshall, a top backer of President Donald Trump, is a Kansas senator who voted to reject the 2020 election results and is seeking re-election this fall.

The senator made the confession about tension in his family during a recent interview on 13th & Park, a podcast produced by Ballard Partners, a pro-Trump lobbying firm with a history of alleged ethical breaches.

"Well, I think the number one I hear is the cost of gas, the cost of groceries," Marshall said, describing what Kansans tell him when he travels the state. "Homes are unaffordable."

"The anger runs deeper than economics," he added. "I've never seen people so mad."

January 6 wasn’t good enough for for you? Or was that crowd just angry at the right people?
"And if you think about it, the job of the national media — what they try to do is make my parents mad," Marshall told the podcast, blaming right-wing media. "They sit home, and they watch Fox News and Newsmax, and guess what? They're mad at me. They're mad at John Thune. They're mad at Mitch McConnell. They're mad at Donald."
When the facts piss people off, don’t shoot the messenger.
"There's this purity test. I feel this anger," he lamented. "More than ever before... It's so easy to create hate."
Is everybody in MAGA this blinkered and unaware?
Marshall's parents join a growing group of voters who are enraged at the senator.

In March 2025, Marshall walked out of a town hall in Oakley, Kansas — a rural community in a county where Trump won 85% of the vote — after constituents booed him and shouted "You're not done," according to local reporting.

"We don't have time for everyone to stand up. I do got two more commitments today. I appreciate everybody making the drive out and God bless America," Marshall told the crowd before walking out to boos and shouts.
Poor little weasel.

There’s an enormous privilege to being a U.S. senator. Or being a tic, white guy with connections to Trump’s children. Privileged people are sure whiny, though. Like little children who don’t get their way.

In Trump’s America, that’s the true trickle down.
