Video shows House speaker Mike Johnson attending PURITY ball with then-13-year-old daughter in 'prom-like' ritual where teenage girls vow to abstain from sex until marriage

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.'

Obviously not wanting to hop in bed with everything makes you a frigid prude.

This country (America) was founded by Puritians, after all.

Meanwhile, Leftist white moms celebrate their daughters’ womanhood by encouraging them to have sex and then making a day to visit Planned Parenthood together to bond at the little angel’s first abortion.

Yeah. This is the sort of thing that should handled privately, at the family level. Public ceremonies "celebrating" virginity are unnecessary. One wonders who was the first grown adult man who thought this sort of thing is a good idea.

I'd check his hard drive.

My “purity ritual” was the certain knowledge of the Wrath Of Dad, and probable injuries if I even considered straying. No event was necessary.

LOL, I had a dad like that. My sister and I had to chaperone each other on dates, and it was normal to look around and find Dad watching us from a few parking spots down at a drive-in food joint.

If it was John Doe, then I support the freedom of religion to do something like this.

But I expect more from Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House. This is making me doubt his judgment, and he's an important person because we need him to stop the Biden Administration.

I'm 80. We were all raised with the same moral code...no sex before marriage. Apparently that's no longer a cultural norm.

In fact...from this article, it is to be ridiculed.

Oh, how revolting! He probably didn’t have her shower with him before the got read to go, either!

Ewwww...

(Please note heavy sarcasm and oblique Biden reference before attacking me...)

Which is why these sorts of things have been come necessary and why people who long to be in the minority criticize them.

Most kids do not even know how to date any more. They "hang out and hook up" which amounts to watching porn and then trying in imitate what they saw on the screen after consuming some intoxicants to numb the part of their emotions they are killing.

It is really sad.

The unearthed footage from eight years ago is the latest instance of Speaker Johnson's extreme religious beliefs only coming to light after he rose to No. 2 in the presidential line of succession.

How can you possibly call this an "extreme religious belief"?

It is a beautiful ceremony.

I know these kinds of things have become popular among certain sets. Being Catholic, I just find them a little off-putting.

As a grown male, and the father of a daughter, I find other men being overly fixated on the virginity of their daughters, and bringing it to the public's attention in this way, pretty cringey, as the kids say.
