MSM "ABC News shared a video of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., with his daughter at a Christian "purity ball," calling it a "controversial formal dance event."
" 'This looks like a wedding," a German news reporter said in a 2015 n-tv news segment that ABC News uncovered. "But they are not bride and groom -- but rather father and ... daughter," the reporter said of Johnson and his then teenage daughter.
"ABC portrayed the event as "controversial" in an article from 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," the outlet wrote.
"A purity ball, which usually features a father and daughter dance and encourages sexual abstinence before marriage, is a family-centered event.
"ABC also described purity balls as a subject of intense debate within Christian circles. "Since growing in popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s," the outlet wrote, "purity balls and purity pledges have faced increased scrutiny from both inside and outside the Christian community, ranging from criticism that the practice places too much of a burden on young women to accusations that the balls themselves objectify young girls."
"ABC continued: "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," ABC wrote." . . .
