House Speaker Mike Johnson was profiled in a German news segment attending a 'purity ball' with his teenage daughter, in a bizarre prom-like ritual where she was made to take a vow of abstinence.
Johnson, 51, and his then-13-year-old daughter, Hannah, were seen in unearthed n-tv news footage from 2015 preparing for the controversial dance, as a reporter remarks that it 'looks like a wedding.'
'But they are not bride and groom - rather father and... daughter,' the reporter adds, with Johnson seen in a black tuxedo and his young daughter in a white dress. The segment was first reported by ABC News.
The lawmaker's attendance at the religious event comes after he raised eyebrows following his surprise appointment as Speaker in October, as he has been forced to defend statements including calling same-sex marriage 'the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy.'

Good for him.
The pagans ain’t happy with Mike Johnson.
And the blind mock what they do not understand.
So?

Please ignore the Bidens and their history of pedophilia.
Please ignore Epstein’s friends and their history of pedophilia.
What you really need to be concerned about is — those sicko Republicans and their interest in purity. Worse than pedophiles!
And?

Sounds like an old-fashioned fathers/daughters banquet with added frills.
oh the horror!!!
Purity and vows of abstinence. Yes, very "bizarre" indeed. And she was "made" to take it, too. Obviously coerced.
Many churches have these pledges.
I remember taking an pledge in church...to never drink alcohol.
I’m pretty sure he held a gun to her head. After all, he’s a Christian right winger.
Oh, no! How could he do it!? Reverse his vote for Speaker! What an abomination! He’s trying to keep his young daughter from fornicating! Oh the humanity!/SARC
“I remember taking an pledge in church...to never drink alcohol.”
Right. Out Church Covenant pretty much covers all that stuff.
Good for him as he just went up a few notches in my book.
Respect!
Our church never would have one of those events. “Ball” = dancing.
Maybe a dinner or a banquet.
That beautiful, protective ritual is performed in many cultures, in South America and Mexico for starters. Think what would occur when all cultures have such a ritual for girls but, also for young men. Hmmmm.
