Democrat politicians love quoting Scripture when it serves their agenda.
But one governor just crossed a line that has people of faith calling for his head.
And Andy Beshear just tried using the Bible to justify one thing that left Christians absolutely livid.
Kentucky governor claims God wants children mutilated
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sat down with the cackling hens on ABC's The View and delivered one of the most blasphemous statements ever uttered by an American politician.
He invoked his Christian faith to defend surgically and chemically altering children's bodies in the name of transgender ideology.
"My faith teaches me that all children are children of God, and I didn't want people picking on those kids," Beshear said to thunderous applause.
Wait, what?
Beshear was defending his 2023 veto of Kentucky Senate Bill 150, which banned puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender reassignment surgeries for minors.
The Republican-controlled legislature overrode his veto because they actually understand what protecting children means.
But Beshear still thinks castrating confused teenagers somehow honors God.
The "nastiest piece of legislation" he referenced literally just stopped doctors from permanently sterilizing children.
That's what passes for oppression in Beshear's twisted worldview.
This isn't Beshear's first time weaponizing Scripture
Beshear has turned Bible-twisting into an art form.
He previously invoked the Golden Rule and the Good Samaritan parable when vetoing pro-life legislation.
"Most of the decisions I make are based on that Golden Rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself," Beshear claimed with a straight face.
Apparently loving your neighbor means letting doctors slice off healthy body parts from confused teenagers.
In September 2024, Beshear signed an executive order banning so-called conversion therapy for minors after Republicans in the Kentucky legislature repeatedly blocked his agenda.
Kentucky's Family Foundation didn't mince words: Beshear was "completely twisting the Scripture to advance and support his radical agenda."
Here's what Beshear won't tell you about his veto.
Two of Kentucky's largest healthcare systems — Norton Healthcare and the University of Kentucky HealthCare — confirmed they never performed gender reassignment surgery on minors.
The law forced them to stop providing hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and counseling that steered children toward permanent bodily mutilation.
So Beshear vetoed legislation protecting kids from treatments his state's major hospitals weren't even performing.
Christian leaders expose Beshear's Scripture perversion
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler went scorched earth on Beshear's View appearance.
He called Beshear's theology "stupid" and exposed the fundamental fraud at work.
"You are looking here at two different rival religions," Mohler explained.
"You have historic, orthodox, biblical Christianity, and you have theological liberalism and whatever it produces next."
Beshear isn't practicing Christianity — he's practicing leftist ideology with a Jesus sticker slapped on top.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz asked the obvious question: "Why are you sterilizing & mutilating the children of God?"
Beshear's response?
Typical leftist snark: "Do you ever get tired of being wrong and mean?"
No substantive answer about why permanently altering children's bodies honors God.
Just condescension and deflection.
Andrew T. Walker, a theology professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, surgically dismantled Beshear's Scripture abuse.
"The irony is that Governor Beshear's appeal to the command to 'love your neighbor as yourself' inverts the meaning of the text," Walker wrote.
"As is often the case with progressive revisionism, the command is treated as a moral permission slip: love your neighbor in the way your neighbor defines as loving."
Beshear thinks love means affirming every destructive impulse a confused child expresses.
Real love means protecting children from making irreversible decisions they'll regret for the rest of their lives.
Republican commentator Scott Jennings, who knows Kentucky politics inside and out, exposed Beshear's con game.
"There is nothing worse in politics or in the church than a wolf in sheep's clothing," Jennings stated.
"And that is exactly what Andy Beshear is."
Democrats weaponize faith to advance radical agenda
Beshear's Bible-twisting represents something far more sinister than one politician's cynical manipulation.
Democrats discovered they can use faith language to smuggle radical leftist policies past voters who still respect Christianity.
They cherry-pick verses about love and compassion while ignoring everything Scripture says about truth, righteousness, and protecting the innocent.
The strategy works because the media runs interference for them.
When Beshear claims his faith drives his politics, journalists nod along approvingly.
When Republicans cite Scripture, those same reporters scream about theocracy and the separation of church and state.
The Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention firmly opposed transgender medical treatments for minors based on 2,000 years of Christian teaching about human nature.
Meanwhile, liberal Protestant denominations that stopped believing in biblical authority decades ago embraced the latest fashionable ideology.
But even the medical establishment is backing away from Beshear's position.
This month, the American Medical Association and American Society of Plastic Surgeons issued recommendations that gender-related surgeries for minors be deferred until adulthood.
The science is catching up to what Christians have known all along — you don't "fix" confused children by permanently mutilating their bodies.
Beshear can't run for governor again due to Kentucky's term limits.
His national TV tour makes clear he's testing the waters for a 2028 presidential run.
Democrats want to sell him as the moderate who can win back working-class voters in red states.
But his View appearance exposed the truth — Beshear is just another radical leftist willing to twist Scripture to advance an agenda that destroys children's lives.
Voters saw through that con in 2024.
They'll see through it again in 2028.
