In a resurfaced clip from 2022, House Speaker Mike Johnson admitted to monitoring his 17-year-old son’s internet activity for pornography. Johnson made this revelation during a speech at Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, where he discussed the “War on Technology.”

During his talk, Johnson disclosed that he and his son had installed “accountability software” known as Covenant Eyes on their electronic devices to discourage visits to explicit websites.

The disclosure of Johnson’s utilization of this software holds particular importance, considering his extensively documented fixation on matters related to the sexual lives of LGBTQ+ individuals. He has consistently championed the idea of criminalizing homosexual acts, voiced his opposition to same-sex marriage, and lent his support to discredited attempts aimed at altering the sexual orientation of LGBTQ+ individuals.

      I really feel like the Democrats unleashed a monkey’s paw by helping to remove McCarthy.

      Johnson is so much worse.
