WASHINGTON -- A glass sat in front of Sen. Roger Marshall in a Senate hearing on food policy this February. On the outside, an etching of the Kansas State University mascot. On the inside, whole milk.
“Let me clear my voice here for a second with a glass of whole milk,” Marshall said, before taking a sip. “The greatest drink known to mankind, known to humankind.”
It wasn’t the first time that the Kansas Republican performatively drank milk in a meeting of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. He did the same in a December subcommittee meeting, though that time from a small red carton.
