New House Speaker/Weirdo Mike Johnson Says That He And His Teen Son Monitor Each Others’ Porn Habits (Totally Normal!), And People Have Thoughts

In “Father and Son,” Cat Stevens sings as a father telling his son to relax, take it easy, maybe find a girl to settle down with and marry. He must have left out the part about watching porn with his kid.

Mike Johnson, the generically-named speaker of the House who believes early humans had dinosaurs as pets, discussed how he and his teenage son monitor each other’s porn habits in a resurfaced clip from 2022. “It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” he said about a program called Covenant Eyes during a “War on Technology” panel at a Louisiana church, according to Rolling Stone. Weird!

Johnson continued, “It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

Of course his porn-monitoring son is named Jack. Of course.

The deeply odd video from last year, which was discovered on the former Twitter by user Receipt Maven, has inspired a lot of reactions. “Aside from how creepy and inappropriate it is… the speaker of the house is admitting that he allows a tech company to monitor his devices and no one bats an eye?!” @libragrl1685 wrote, while @cwebbonline called it like it is: “Of all of the things I can think of to do with my son, this is not one of them. Bizarre AF! On so many levels. We’re just at the beginning stages of uncovering this dude.”
