text: QUESTION: Can you show examples - please, Michael Gerson? - of what you mean by "Christian faith, at its best, points to a transcendent order of justice and hope that stands above politics. So it was in the abolitionist struggle and the civil rights movement. So it needs to be in the Trump era."
  
  ANSWER: Oh, never mind, Michael Gerson, I remember now what you mean exactly - albeit HYPOCRITICALLY - because following were your examples "in the (George W. Bush) era":
  
  "Discussing the Iraq war (in Heroic Conservatism, Michael Gerson) ... mentions Abu Ghraib only once, and there is no discussion of the (George W. Bush) administration’s authorization of waterboarding and other methods of torture, ... or its claim ... that the president can declare any American citizen an 'enemy combatant' and hold him without charges until he dies of old age."
