  "account": "In his upcoming book, Go and Do Likewise, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear argues that faith can be used to bridge the nation's partisan divide. He draws inspiration from the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing that it is not just a story, but an instruction to show kindness and empathy to others. Beshear criticizes President Trump's actions, comparing him to a modern-day Pharisee who condemns those who are different and supports vengeful and angry sentiments. The author believes that America's greatness lies in its people living out Jesus' command to \"go and do likewise,\" by treating one another with kindness and embracing diversity as a source of strength.",
  "summary": "The Democratic Governor of Kentucky writes about how the language of faith, which he believes has been co-opted by some politicians, can be used to bridge the nation's partisan divide.",
