## LIE: Adam Hamilton said people should repent for eating beef and being white.

**TRUTH:** Adam Hamilton has never said either of these things. Reporters [have](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-hamilton-roger-marshall-woke-pastor_n_6a7f8508e4b05886dff50d70) repeatedly debunked this claim, [noting](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/no-democrat-has-won-a-kansas-senate-seat-in-a-century-can-a-megachurch-pastor-change-that) “they base that allegation on a misleading stitching together” parts of sermons, calling the ads “wildly misleading” as the words were never said in “that sequence.”  Roger Marshall’s own pastor called Hamilton a “middle of the road pastor who is willing to listen to all sides.”

While Marshall is making up these smears, he’s actually said very similar things himself.  In 2020, he told a student group that racism existed because people [“have \[forgotten\] who God is and \[forgotten what\] faith really means.”](https://soar.wichita.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/e83bc7a0-73cd-4608-87cf-a1a483a3abee/content) He proposed legislation to [“produce less methane from our cow herds and the cattle feeding industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvrqGLSPbGU&t=2s)” because [“everyone’s concerned about methane production in the cattle industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4EVvY_oqVk&t=340s).” Marshall  bragged that decline in the cattle herd [“eliminated half of the methane gas produced from cattle](https://hpj.com/2023/07/07/senator-marshall-visits-cimarron-feedyard-holds-roundtable/).” He even [voted](https://www.farms.com/ag-industry-news/senate-diabetes-bill-sparks-meat-industry-concerns-053.aspx) to put warning labels on hot dogs and bacon!
