"A German TV news outlet showed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) at a "purity ball" in 2015 with his daughter Hannah, who was 13 years old at the time, ABC News reported on Wednesday.
"The German news segment documented Johnson and his family preparing for and then attending a purity ball, a controversial formal dance event, popular among some conservative Christians, that gained notoriety in the early 2000s," reported Will Steakin. "At a typical event, fathers and their teenage daughters dress in formal ball attire for a night that involves dinner and dancing and culminates with the daughter signing a pledge to her father to abstain from dating and to remain sexually abstinent until marriage.""
