This was in response to comments that Adams made during an Interfaith Breakfast on Feb. 28.
“You do not take this journey on your own. I strongly believe in all my heart, God said, ‘I’m going to take the most broken person and I’m going to elevate him to the place of being the mayor of the most powerful city on the globe.’ He could have made me the mayor of Topeka, Kansas. He could have made me the mayor of some small town or village somewhere.”

This isn’t the first time Adams has taken aim at the Sunflower State. In September 2022, he claimed that “Kansas doesn’t have a brand.”
