Good for Andy Beshear

So glad he won in Kentucky! Now, Kentucky needs to elect a better state legislature and get rid of these Republicans who take bills from the Alliance ~~Defending~~ Desecrating Freedom. The fact Republicans would rather listen to Christian nationalist Tartuffes and only care about trying to force submission to their brand of Christianity is seriously the biggest problem in America today.

Amen
That’s a lot of heart and courage on Beshear’s part. God bless,
He’s a good man.
Man you know what would be awesome to hear instead is a politician saying that their religion has no place interfering with the rule of law in America. I shouldn’t be at the mercy of someone else’s religion and whether or not it validates my right to exist and receive medical care.
Wow, an American Christian who seems to have actually read the bible? Good work that man!
Every once in awhile, someone steps up and says something that makes me smile in its simplicity and truth. He is such a super star and I love it!!
Beshear should run for president in 2028.
The Republicans are putting us in an interesting position, they’re asking us to choose to have our medical decisions made by doctors, or by Conservatives. I know which way I prefer.
He is a good man, truly, takes a lot of courage to say this in Red Kentucky.
Looks a bit like Gomer Pyle, talks more like Sheriff Andy
That’s my motherfucking gov right there 🫡
Modern Christianity would not agree. They would be creations of God, not Children of God. That term would be reserved for those that have accepted Jesus, yada, yada, yada.
I’m not even religious and this warms my cold heart.
Is Andy Beshear on any radars for POTUS? Because, I like the cut of this dude’s jig. I don’t need a President who’s an expert on everything, they have many, many advisors to cover that, I want the conscience of the nation making the best decisions based off advice from all those advisors. Andy seems like that type.
He is describing all Republicans these days. Cruelty is the point of everything they do. Hatred is the glue that binds the entire party, and as long as someone is being cruelly harmed, they are all happy.
“We oughta be in the suicide prevention business and not further harming kids who are going through too much. I did it because it was the right thing.” – Gov. Beshear.
What a crazy fucking concept. I know no one is perfect, but I’m glad someone like this is at the helm instead of the terrifying alternative choice for KY. We need more people in positions of power capable of critical thinking and empathy.
News flash to the people who claim to be religious! Everyone was made in gods image so why you authorized yourself to become the judge is a fuck you to yourself!!
I can only imagine that lives will be saved because a decent upstanding human being values morality over politics. And I am so happy he was rewarded with his position, swimming upstream against an enormous tide of hate. Well done, this is a man with strength and heart.
He’s starting his 2028 campaign.
Agreed, we are ALL children of God. I find it unchristian for “Christians” to use Christ in non-Christian ways
Prob won’t be re-elected now, but at least he has some principles. I wish Christians would start acting “Christianly”
We are now reaping the all the shit from extremist Evangelicals and Christian Nationalists who have been fear mongering for so long just to get money in their coffers. It’s like a lie that you can’t dig yourself out of
There’s already talk of Uncle Andy running for President in the future, might actually see KY swing blue in a presidential election for a change…..*might*.
Personally, I think he’d do more good for the country if he runs for McConnell’s seat after his term is up.
Governor Beshear is so well-liked (and, also, attractive; young; and, despite that, paternal) that, despite the obvious political objections to his COVID-19 policies, this T-shirt sold quite well: “[Govern Me, Daddy](https://kyforky.com/products/govern-me-daddy-t-shirt)”.
