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.'

2 Samuel 6:14-22 AMPC
And David danced before the Lord with all his might, clad in a linen ephod [a priest’s upper garment]. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. As the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter [David’s wife], looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. They brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name [and presence] of the Lord of hosts, And distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to each a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, each to his house. Then David returned to bless his household.
And [his wife] Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who stripped himself of his kingly robes and uncovered himself in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the worthless fellows shamelessly uncovers himself! David said to Michal, It was before the Lord, Who chose me above your father and all his house to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord. Therefore will I make merry [in pure enjoyment] before the Lord. I will be still more lightly esteemed than this, and will humble and lower myself in my own sight [and yours]. But by the maids you mentioned, I will be held in honor.
You know what? I apologize. There was no reason for me to be a jerk. I’m sorry. Have a blessed Christmas.
No it's not.
And why isn't there one with mothers and their sons?
And this is news because?!?
Wow.
Good to see a post like that.
they say it like it was a bad thing...
And I went to the Father& Daughter dances with my daughter, and it was a nice opportunity to show our daughters how they deserve to be treated.
But any discussion of sexual purity, and maintaining the dignity of one's God-given body, was only implied, not garishly exhibited.
I get the same kind of feeling about these ceremonies as I do about Gypsy/Travelers weddings.
OH! The HORROR! (lib think)
Thank you.
I too apologize for my own malice toward you. Kindly forgive me.
May the love of our Savior shine brightly and warmly upon you, your family and the ones you love dearly. May this draw each of you closer to one other and into a close, loving walk with our Creator.
Merry Christmas.
Funny way that you are explaining this. We'll have to view Speaker Mike Johnson as a "Gypsy" for taking part of this cringeworthy ceremony with his daughter.
I think this is way out there. If we had known about this about Mike Johnson before becoming Speaker, I would have preferred someone else.
Well, I no longer really pay attention to our political theater. I have better, more productive things to do.
“Liberals do not understand a strong father figure in the home let alone a father in the home.”
OUCH!
Licking index finger, lifting it in the air, swiping downwards as if marking on a vertical surface.
Good one!
Good for him. Obviously not a sex driven crime family like the Bidens.
“creepy” was the swearing in ceremony when VP Biden sniffed and groped all the Congressman’s children. Caught on video for all the world to see.
Yes, very very good.
In other words, a whiny Marxist crybaby in need of a free helicopter ride.

🤸🏻♀️
Why either or? Both can be creepy.
